Answer:
1. Economic value added = $34.04 million
2. Company's return on capital = 18.79%
3. Return on equity = 24.61%
Explanation:
1. Economic value added (EVA) = NOPAT - capital charge
Where;
NOPAT = EBIT × ( 1 - tax rate )
Tax rate = Taxes / Income before taxes
= 34 / 97 * 100
= 35%
NOPAT = 109 × ( 1 - 35% )
= 70.85
But,
Capital charge = Capital employed × Cost of capital = (Equity + Interest bearing Liabilities) × Cost of capital
= (325 + 108) × 8.5%
= 433 × 8.5%
= 36.81
Therefore,
Economic value added(EVA)
= 70.85 - 36.81
= $34.04 million
2. Company's return on capital(using start of year equity)
= NOPAT / (Total assets - Current liabilities)
= 70.85 / (534 - 157)
= 70.85 / 377
= 0.1879
= 18.79%
Return on capital is 18.79%
3. Return on equity(using start of year equity) = Net income / Shareholder's equity
= 63 / 256
= 1.125
= 24.61%
Return on equity is 24.61%
A measurement of the excess value produced on an investment is called the Economic Value Added (EVA). The "true" cash flow return on capital received from an investment is what is meant by the term return on capital (ROC).
1. Economic value added is $34.04 million.
2. Company's return on capital is 18.79%.
3. Return on equity is 24.61%.
The calculations are provided below:
Economic value added (EVA) = capital charge - NOPAT
Where;
NOPAT equals EBIT - (tax rate - 1)
Tax rate equals taxes / pre-tax income
= 34 / 97 * 100
= 35%
NOPAT = 109 × (1 - 35%)
= 70.85
But,
Capital employed x Capital charge Cost of capital is equal to equity plus interest-bearing liabilities.
= (325 + 108) × 8.5%
= 433 × 8.5%
= 36.81
Therefore,
EVA or economic value added
= 70.85 - 36.81
equals $34.04 billion
2. The firm's return on capital (using equity at the year's beginning)
(Total Assets - Current Liabilities) = NOPAT
= 70.85 / (534 - 157)
= 70.85 / 377
= 0.1879
= 18.79%
18.79% is the return on capital.
3. Net income divided by shareholder equity, or return on equity (using start-of-year equity).
= 63 / 256
= 1.125
= 24.61%
24.61% is the return on equity.
A measure of a company's financial performance known as economic value added (EVA) is based on the residual wealth that is determined by subtracting its cost of capital from its operating profit, adjusted for taxes on a cash basis.
EVA is also known as economic profit since it aims to identify a company's genuine economic profit. Stern Value Management, initially established as Stern Stewart & Co., is a management consulting business that developed this metric.

Develop an estimate for each of the following situations:_________. a. The cost of a 500-mile automobile trip, if gasoline is $3 per gallon, vehicle wear and tear is $0.50 per mile and our vehicle gets 20 miles per gallon.b. The total number of hours in the average human life, if the average life is 75 years.
Answer:
A.$325
B.657000 hours
Explanation:
We can calculate the cost of a 500-mile automobile trip by adding the cost of gasoline burnt and the cost of wear and tear during the trip. Total number of hours of 75 years old can be calculated by multiplying the number of hours in a day with the total number of days in a year.
DATA
Gasoline per gallon = $3
Vehicle wear and tear = $0.50/mile
Miles per gallon = 20 miles
Hours in a day = 24hours
Days in a year = 365
Number of years = 75
Requirement A
Cost of a 500 mile automobile trip = Cost of gasoline + Cost of vehicle wear ]
Cost of a 500 mile automobile trip = $75 + $250 = $325
Working
Cost of gasoline = (500 miles / 20 miles) * $3 per gallon = $75 Cost of vehicle wear and tear = 500 miles * $0.50 per mile = $250
Requirement A
Total number of hours in 75 years of human life = Life in years x Number of days in a year x Number of hours in a day
Total number of hours in 75 years of human life = 75 years * 365 days * 24 hours = 657000 hours

SCENARIO:
Marcus, feeling stressed out from work, decided to search for a meditation app for his phone that would help him relax during the day. One app, CalmDown, appeared to be promising. It didn't have any reviews yet and looked to be a brand-new app, so he decided to try it out. He downloaded the app to his phone and opened it up. The first screen required he enter in his name and email address. At the very bottom of the screen it had some small writing, but Marcus didn't notice it and hit the continue button.
Had Marcus clicked on the link at the bottom of the screen, he would have seen the following:
The second screen stated "Three-day trial version- Free! $59.99 annual fee thereafter." Marcus was annoyed that the app would cost him almost $60 but figured he would set a reminder on his phone to cancel the app before the trial period expired so he wouldn't get charged. Plus, he wanted to see the app in action. If it was actually worth the price, he wouldn't mind paying the annual fee. He clicked "Continue" and put in his bank card information on the next screen. The following screen asked Marcus a series of questions about his stress level and what he felt caused stress in his life. He clicked "high" and "work" as the level and cause. He then completed the first CalmDown meditation in the app, but was not impressed with its functionality. Deciding he would cancel his subscription immediately, he went into the profile settings to try to find the cancel option but couldn't. He searched every possible place on the app but didn't see a way to cancel the subscription. Marcus decided to try to find the app's developer through their website, but a quick search didn't turn up anything. Already stressed and becoming more frustrated, Marcus decided to contact the app store. They informed him that he should be able to go into his app store account and cancel the subscription there. However, when Marcus went there, he didn't see the app as an option or as a subscription. Thinking that maybe his subscription didn't process, he just deleted the app from his phone.
Marcus didn't give the app or the subscription any more thought, becoming increasingly more distracted by the amount of stress at work. Four months later, Marcus was looking at his bank account online and noticed it was lower than it should have been. He began reviewing the charges and noticed multiple charges for $59.99 to a merchant named "CDgotU." He immediately remembered the app and contacted his bank to dispute the charges. His bank replied that due to the charges being debit withdraws he needed to dispute them within 2 days of being made. Moreover, if he had been diligent about watching his account, they could have put a block on the account and the remaining fraudulent charges would have been prevented. The bank representative also told him that he should try to get a refund from the company that charged him. After making his case with the bank representative for several hours about how he tried to cancel his subscription, he was unsuccessful. The bank's representative was able to provide Marcus a phone number attached to the Merchant account, but when Marcus called the number it was disconnected. The bank could not provide him with any additional information such as a company address or website.
After more internet searching, Marcus saw a number of other complaints online about the app, and noticed it had been removed from the app store and was no longer available for download. Marcus decided to bring an action against the company for fraud, breach of contract, conversion, and several other claims in his home state of Vermont.
Can Marcus compel the bank or the app store to provide additional information about the creator of CalmDown in order to determine the creator's location and potential assets?
a. No, these records are not subject to being subpoenaed due to their confidential nature.
b. Yes, he can subpoena records during the discovery process from both, but the bank and the app store may ask the judge to deny the request or limit the request due to privacy concerns.
c. Yes, but he must subpoena these records prior to the filing of the complaint.
d. Yes, he can file interrogatories during the discovery process to both the bank and the app store.
Answer: b. Yes, he can subpoena records during the discovery process from both, but the bank and the app store may ask the judge to deny the request or limit the request due to privacy concerns.
Explanation:
Marcus can indeed compel the bank or the app store to provide additional information about the creator of the app should he wish to find out the creator's location and its potential assets so he can purse the case appropriately legal wise.
He can do this by subpoenaing the required information when laying the background for the suit. As this information is considered private and confidential however, both the bank and the store could appeal to the Judge to refuse Marcus's request on the grounds of privacy concerns.

Services constitute the bulk of most countries' production and marketing efforts.A. TrueB. False
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
Physical goods, not services, constitute the bulk of most countries' production and marketing efforts. Even though services represent a higher percentage of GDP than manufacturing, many of these services are directly related to manufacturing goods. E.g. grocery stores are considered services, but they sell physical products. Amazon is the largest retailer in the world and its considered a service, but most of its operations involve physical products. Without physical products, many services would not exist since they complement each other.
A payment of a portion of an accounts payable will:_______A) decrease net income. B) not affect stockholders' equity. C) not affect total assets. D) increase liabilities.
Answer: B) not affect stockholders' equity.
Explanation:
When an accounts payable is paid off, this represents a reduction in liabilities as well as a reduction in assets ( the cash used to pay). The company's equity will not be affected in any way.
This is proven by the accounting equation which shows that assets are equal to equity plus liabilities. If both liabilities and assets reduce by the same amount, the equity will have to remain unaffected for the formula to stand.
Deon is VP of marketing with a major beverage company and is reviewing the contracts of several film, media, and television personalities who work with the company. Recently, two of them were involved in controversial activities concerning their political beliefs and have been quite vocal regarding several social justice issues. Deon is considering canceling their contracts because it is difficult to establish that their personal views are not the views of his company. Which exchange criteria most directly relates to Deon's cancellation of these sponsorships
Question Completion:
Options:
a. There must be at least two parties.
b. Each party is free to accept or reject the exchange offer.
c. Each party believes it is appropriate or desirable to deal with the other party.
d. Each party has something that might be of value to the other party.
Answer:
c. Each party believes it is appropriate or desirable to deal with the other party.
Explanation:
Criteria C is the criteria that will most directly relate to Deon's cancellation of the sponsorships. Business deals and relationships cannot be established or allowed to subsist when it becomes inappropriate or undesirable to deal with the other party because of controversial activities. This is more so when the activities involve political and social justice beliefs and differences. Ordinarily, business partners should not allow such personal prejudices to becloud their relationships. The best approach, therefore, is for business partners to keep their political and social justice beliefs personal and not make them public issues.
As input for a presentation that you are jointly authoring, one of your marketing analysts submitted the following summary of the characteristics of the four different types of market structures companies compete in: Competitive Structure Number of Competitors Market Barriers to Entry Monopolistic Competition Unlimited No Barriers Monopoly Few Some Barriers Pure Competition Many Few Barriers Oligopoly One Many Barriers With respect to the classifications of number of competitors and barriers to entry, which one of the following statements is correct? a. The monopolistic competition structure is properly classified. b. The pure competition and oligopoly structures are properly classified. c. The oligopoly structure is properly classified. d. The monopoly structure is properly classified. e. The monopoly and oligopoly structures’ classifications should be reversed.
Answer:
a. The monopolistic competition structure is properly classified.
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high / many barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of a monopoly is a utility company
An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry. While, a monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.
Oligopolies are characterised by:
price setting firms product differentiation profit maximisation high barriers to entry or exit of firms downward sloping demand curve

Uncollectible accounts; allowance method estimating bad debts as percentage of net sales vs. direct write-off method [LO7-5, 7-6) Ervin Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. Bad debt expense is established as a percentage of credit sales. For 2021, net credit sales totaled $6,500,000, and the estimated bad debt percentage is 1.50%. No previously written-off accounts receivable were reinstated during 2021. The allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of $62,000 at the beginning of 2021 and $50,000, after adjusting entries, at the end of 2021. Required: 1. What is bad debt expense for 2021 as a percent of net credit sales? 2. Assume Ervin makes no other adjustment of bad debt expense during 2021. Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021. 3. If the company uses the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2021? 1. Bad debt expense $97,5002. Accounts receivable written off $15,0003. Bad debt expense $98,430
Answer:
1. Bad debt expense = $97,500
2. Accounts receivable written off = $109,500
3. Bad debt expense for 2021 = $109,500
Explanation:
Bad debts expense refers to an uncollectible accounts expense that occurs because goods or services are delivered on credit a company to a customer who did not paid the amount owed.
The questions can be answered as follows:
1. What is bad debt expense for 2021 as a percent of net credit sales?
Under this, bad debt can be calculated using the following formula:
Bad expense = Net credit sales * Estimated bad debt percentage ....... (1)
Where;
Net credit sales = $6,500,000
Estimated bad debt percentage = 1.50%
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Bad debt expense = $6,500,000 * 1.50% = $97,500
2. Assume Ervin makes no other adjustment of bad debt expense during 2021. Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021.
This can be calculated using the following formula:
Accounts receivable written off = Beginning uncollectible balance + Bad debt expenses - Ending uncollectible balance ............ (2)
Where;
Beginning uncollectible balance = $62,000
Bad debt expenses = $97,500
Ending uncollectible balance = $50,000
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
Accounts receivable written off during 2021 = $62,000 + $97,500 - $50,000 = $109,500
3. If the company uses the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2021?
Under the direct write-off method, the exact amount of uncollectible accounts as they are specifically identified are recorded.
Based on this explanation, bad debt expense for 2021 is equal to the accounts receivable written off during 2021 calculated in part 2 above. Therefore, we have:
Bad debt expense for 2021 = $109,500

Survey customersAdd up the total quantity demanded by the customers at each price pointScale up the quantities demanded by the survey respondents.Plot the demand curveWhen the analysts go into the market to research, they should start by surveying a sample of customers. They can then add up the quantity that was demanded by the customers at each price point to find out the total demand.
They should then scale up these results to see what the total market demand is. Then finally they should then use the scaled up data to construct a demand curve.
b. Two important factors
existing competition in the market - when creating demand estimates the analysts should keep in mind that they may have competition who are already selling their product. Their demand analysis should take into account factors like the people who have already bought the product and might no longer needing it or the price that the other competitors are selling at.consumer demographic information - demand also depends on demographic factors such as age and economic class. Some products are not very well used by the older generation such as smart watches so the researchers need to ensure that they have the right age groups. The watch might also cost an amount that some people cannot afford so this must be taken into account as well.According to the possible trade-off example between warships and drinking water in the text, the policy question that should be considered in Malaysia is do the benefits of the warships exceed their opportunity costs? do the nominal costs of the warships exceed their real costs? do the opportunity costs of the warships exceed their nominal costs? do the real costs of the warships exceed their nominal costs?
Answer:
Explanation:
I will start by explaining the question, although it's incomplete.
This is Economics, first of all. The Malaysian government needs to or wants to spend on some goods. Since the law of Economics states that human needs always exceed the available resources to cater for them all at once; the Malaysian government is in a state of 'choice'!
Choice involves catering for certain needs at one time, while leaving the others undone. So the two goods here are war ships and drinking water.
The Malaysian government economic policy makers are trying to check the benefits and possible effects of trading the provision of drinking water for the purchase of war ships. I suppose they're tending towards the purchase of war ships because presently, there is war or insecurity in the land. If this be the case, the nominal costs, opportunity costs, and real costs of spending more on war ships than on drinking water, should be examined.
Opportunity cost is the cost of the forgone alternative; which is drinking water in this case. Will more people (citizens) die if there are no new war ships provided at this time OR will more people (citizens) die if there is no extra provision of drinking water at this time? This is the summary of all the questions in the question text above!

DOES THIS HELP
Explanation
Many different professions contribute to the theory and practice of project management. Engineers and architects have been managing major projects since pre-history. Since approximately the 1960s, there have been efforts to professionalize the practice of project management as a specialization of its own. There are many active debates around this: Should project management be a profession in the same way as engineering, accounting, and medicine? These have professional associations that certify who is legally allowed to use the job title, and who can legally practice the profession. They also provide a level of assurance of quality and discipline members who behave inappropriately.

What must he consider before using that method of payment?First and foremost, he should verify that the merchant accepts checks as a form of payment. Additionally, he should confirm that he has enough money in his checking account to cover the cost of the chair and any other expenses or automatic payments that may come due soon.
It's also important for Yuri to ensure that he writes the check properly, including the correct date, payee name, and amount in both numerical and written form. Failure to do so could result in the check being rejected or delayed, which could cause problems for both Yuri and the merchant.
If Yuri has a history of bounced checks or insufficient funds in his account, he may want to consider alternative payment methods or take steps to improve his financial situation before attempting to pay with a check.
It's also a good idea for Yuri to keep track of his checkbook balance and reconcile it regularly to avoid any surprises or overdraft fees.
Overall, paying with a check can be a convenient and secure way to make purchases, but it's important for Yuri to be mindful of these considerations to ensure a successful transaction.
