Answer:
Produce more widgets.
Explanation:
Given the price charge by the competitive firm is = $15
The unit produced = 100
The marginal cost of the last unit = $12
The firm should produce more widget because in the competitive market the firm charge the price that is equal to MC. Moreover, in the given question the price is greater than the marginal cost. Therefore, the firm should produce more widgets in order to reach the condition “P=MC”.
Question
The question is incomplete. The complete question is given as follows:
You consider buying a share of stock. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.50 next year, and dividends are expected to grow by 5% per year forever. What is the stock price now if the stock's beta is 1.1, rf is 6%, and E[rm] = 16%.
Answer
Stock price = $12.5
Explanation:
Using the dividend valuation model, the value of a stock can be determined using this model:
Price = D(1+g)/(r-g)
D- dividend payable now, g- growth rate in dividend, r-return on equity
Return on equity
Re= Rf + β(Rm -Rf)
Rf- risk-free rate, Rm - Return on market portfolio, β- Beta factor
To determine the Stock price we follow the steps below
Step 1
Determine the cost of equity
r = 6% + 1.1 *(16%-6%)
= 17%
Step 2
Determine the stock price
Stock price = 1.50/(0.17-0.05)
= $12.5
Stock price = $12.5
Note
D*(1+g) = Dividend next year. And this has been given as $1.50. So there is no need to apply the growth rate.
Required:
a. Determine the proceeds of the note, assuming that the note carries an interest rate of 6%.
b. Determine the proceeds of the note, assuming that the note is discounted at 6%.
Answer:
A. $100,000
B.$99,000
Explanation:
A. Calculation for Determining the proceeds of the note, assuming that the note carries an interest rate of 6%
Based on the information given the note is not discounted which means the face value is equal to the proceeds of $100,000
Hence,
Face value = Proceeds of $100,000
Therefore the proceeds of the note, assuming that the note carries an interest rate of 6% will be $100,000
b. Calculation for Determining the proceeds of the note, assuming the note is discounted at 6%
First step is to find the discount
Using this formula
Discount = Face value amount x Discount rate x (term of note / 360)
Let plug in the formula
Discount= $100,000 x .06 x 60/360
Discount =$360,000/360
Discount= $1,000
Second step is to calculate for the Proceeds
Calculation for the Proceeds
Using this formula
Proceeds = face amount – discount
Let plug in the formula
Proceeds=$100,000 – $1,000
Proceeds= $99,000
Therefore the proceeds of the note, assuming that the note is discounted at 6% will be $99,000
Answer:
14.52%
Explanation:
The computation of the rate of return on the stock is shown below:-
The expected rate of return on the stock = Beta × (Rate of return - Market rate of return)
= 1.2 × (0.121 - 0.145)
= - 2.88%
So, the expected rate of return on the stock = Current percentage - expected rate of return on the stock
= 0.174 - 0.0288
= 14.52%
Therefore we simply applied the above formulas
b. Product recalls.
c. Rework labor and overhead.
d. Quality circles.
e. Downtime caused by defects.
f. Cost of field servicing.
g. Inspection of goods.
h. Quality engineering.
i. Warranty repairs.
j. Statistical process control.
k. Net cost of scrap.
I. Depreciation of test equipment.
m. Returns and allowances arising from poor quality.
n. Disposal of defective products.
o. Technical support to suppliers.
p. Systems development.
q. Warranty replacements.
r. Field testing at customer site.
s. Product design.
Required:
1. Classify the costs associated with each of these activities into one of the following categories: prevention cost, appraisal cost, internal failure cost, or external failure cost.
2. Which of the four types of costs in (1) above are incurred in an effort to keep poor quality of conformance from occurring? Which of the four types or costs in (1) above are incurred because poor quality of conformance has occurred?
Answer:
Explanation:
A. Product testing - Appraisal cost
B. Product recalls - External Failure cost
C. Rework labor and overhead - Internal Failure cost
D. Quality circles - Prevention cost
E. Downtime caused by defects - Internal Failure cost
F. Cost of field servicing - External Failure cost
G. Inspection of goods - Appraisal cost
H. Quality engineering - Prevention cost
I. Warranty repairs - External Failure cost
J. Statistical process control -Prevention cost
K. Net cost of scrap - Internal Failure cost
L. Depreciation of test equipment - Appraisal cost
M. Returns and allowances arising from poor quality - External Failure cost
N. Disposal of defective products - Internal Failure cost
O. Technical support to suppliers - Prevention cost
P. Systems development - Prevention cost
Q. Warranty replacements - Internal Failure cost
R. Field testing at customer site - Appraisal cost
S. Product design - Prevention cost
2. Which of the four types of costs in (1) above are incurred in an effort to keep poor quality of conformance from occurring? Prevention costs and appraisal costs.
Which of the four types or costs in (1) above are incurred because poor quality of conformance has occurred? Internal failure costs and external failure costs
The costs associated with each activity can be classified into prevention cost, appraisal cost, internal failure cost, or external failure cost. Prevention costs are incurred to keep poor quality of conformance from occurring, while internal failure costs occur because poor quality of conformance has occurred within the organization.
The costs associated with each activity can be classified as follows:
Prevention costs are incurred to keep poor quality of conformance from occurring, while appraisal costs are incurred to assess the conformance of products. Internal failure costs occur because poor quality of conformance has occurred within the organization, while external failure costs occur because poor quality of conformance has occurred outside of the organization.

Explanation:
A. Gross Margin % measures the profitability of a Business based on its direct input costs (that is having not considered its indirect costs which includes the selling , general and administrative costs)
It is derived as Gross Margin divided by Net sales x 100%
B. Net profit % = is a measure of profitability of a business in relation to its sales. All relevant costs (except dividend payable to common stock holders) would have been considered in arriving at the applied profit
It is derived as Net Income divided by Net sales x 100%
C. return on total Assets. This is a measure of a business profitability in relation to its investments in Assets. The higher the rate the better a firm is said to be in its conversion process
It is derived as Net income divided by Total Assets x 100%
D. Return on Equity is a measure of profitability in relation to common stock holders investment in shares in a business. The higher the rate, the better the adjudged performance of the business by the shareholders.
It is derived as Net income divided by total shareholders equity x 100%
