Answer:
1. True
2. Decrease entry barriers
Decrease the amount of regulation
Explanation:
A market with several firms in operation can be a competitive market as the firms involved will compete against each other for the economic profits in the industry. The market has to have low barriers to entry for it to be contestable.
To make the industry more competitive, barriers to entry should be reduced and regulation relaxed. This will bring in more firms into this market and make it more competitive.
Vital Silence Corp. has just issued a 30-year callable, convertible bond with a coupon rate of 6.4 percent and annual coupon payments. The bond has a conversion price of $93.40. The company's stock is selling for $28.60 per share. The owner of the bond will be forced to convert if the bond's conversion value is ever greater than or equal to $1,140. The required return on an otherwise identical nonconvertible bond is 7.4 percent. Assume a par value of $1,000.
a. What is the minimum value of the bond?
b. If the stock price were to grow by 10.8 percent per year forever, how long would it take for the bond's conversion value to exceed $1,140?
Answer:
a. $880.74
b. 13 years
Explanation:
a. Conversion ratio = Current Value of bond / Conversion price = 1,000 / 93.4 = 10.71
Conversion price of bond = 10.71 × 28.60 = $306.31
Coupon = Par value of bond * Coupon rate = $1,000 * 6.4% = $64
Present value of straight debt is calculated below:
Present Value = $64 × [1-(1+7.4%)^-30 / 7.4%] + [$1,000 / (1+7.4%)^30]
= $64*11.93 + $117.46
= $763.28 + $117.46
= $880.74 .
Therefore, the minimum value of bond is $880.74
b. Conversion ratio = 10.71
Current stock price = $28.6
Suppose number of year the stock will take to reach above $1,140 is t.
Conversion value = Current stock price * Conversion ratio*(1+10.8%)^t
$1,140 = $28.6 * 10.71 * (1.108)^t
(1.108)^t = 3.7218
t = 12.8145 year.
t = 13 years

Onofkp411 Corporation has a time contraint on one of its special machines. The company makes three products that use this machine. Data concerning those products appear below: Magnifico Bellissimo Lovely
Selling price per unit $ 335.18 $ 228.46 $ 199.21
Variable cost per unit $ 259.26 $ 173.08 $ 159.61
Minutes on the constraint 7.50 4.30 5.50
Assume that sufficient time is available on the constrained machine to satisfy demand for all but the least profitable product Q) Up to how much should Onofkp 411 be willing to pay to acquire more of the constrained resource (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
a) $75.80 per minute
b) $14.17 per unit
c) $39.48 per unit
d) $774 per minute
Answer: $7.20 per minute
Explanation:
Find out the profitability of each product as Contribution Margin per minute.
Magnifico
Contribution margin per minute = (Selling price - Variable cost) / minutes on the constraint
= (335.18 - 259.26) / 7.5
= $10.12 per minute
Bellissimo
= (228.46 - 173.08) / 4.3
= $12.88 per minute
Lovely
= (199.21 - 159.61) / 5.5
= $7.20 per minute
Their least profitable product is $7.20 per minute.
The machine does not have sufficient time to satisfy the needs of Lovely so they will have to pay more to acquire more of the resource but they should not pay anything more than $7.20 per minute as this is their contribution margin for the product. and anything more would result in a loss.

The stock of Stock M has a beta of 1.48 and an expected return of 12.50 percent. The risk-free rate of return is 5 percent. What is the expected return on the market?
Answer:
10.07%
Explanation:
Calculation for the Expected return
Using this formula
Expected return =(Expected return-Risk-free rate)/Beta+Risk-free rate
Let plug in the formula
Expected return=(0.125 –0.05)/1.48 + 0.05
Expected return=0.075/1.48+0.05
Expected return=0.05068+0.05
Expected return=0.1007*100
Expected return=10.07%
Therefore the expected return on the market will be 10.07%

Suppose the Federal Reserve (the Fed) announces that it is raising its target interest rate by 50 basis points, or 0.50%. It would achieve this by _____________________: The sequence of events that results in a new equilibrium interest rate, after the Fed makes the change you selected, may be described as follows: Because there is ____________ in the financial system the quantity of money demanded __________.
Answer: decreasing money supply; less; decreases.
Explanation:
When the Federal Reserve wants to increase its target interest rate by 50 basis points, this can be done if the Fed reduces the money supply that is in circulation.
This will in turn, lead to a new equilibrium rate and there will also be a decrease in money in the financial system as there'll be a reduction in the quantity of money demanded.

Consider the three theories of the upward slope of the short-run aggregate-supply curve. According to the sticky-wage theory, the economy is in a recession because the price level has declined so that real wages are too . True or False: According to the sticky-price theory, the economy is in a recession because people expect prices to rise quickly in a recession. True False According to the misperceptions theory, the economy is in a recession when the price level is what was expected.
Answer:
According to the sticky-wage theory, the economy is in a recession because the price level has declined so that real wages are too
⇒HIGH. According to this theory, the increase of real wages will result in lower production levels and lower employment.
According to the sticky-price theory, the economy is in a recession because people expect prices to rise quickly in a recession.
⇒TRUE. The sticky price theory is based on the concept that prices will not change quickly enough to adjust to a new optimal equilibrium level.
According to the misperceptions theory, the economy is in a recession when the price level is what was expected.
⇒FALSE. According to this theory if the price level decreases, suppliers will reduce output levels resulting in a recession.
A company purchased a weaving machine for $273,400. The machine has a useful life of 8 years and a residual value of $15,000. It is estimated that the machine could produce 760,000 bolts of woven fabric over its useful life. In the first year, 110,000 bolts were produced. In the second year, production increased to 114,000 units. Using the units-of-production method, what is the amount of depreciation expense that should be recorded for the second year
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $38,760
Explanation:
To calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced
Annual depreciation= [(273,400 - 15,000)/760,000]*114,000
Annual depreciation= $38,760
Define the three economic effects of oligopoly
Answer:
Some of the oligopoly effects are discussed as follows:
i. Restriction on output:
Implies that oligopoly results in small output and high prices as compared to other market structures, such as perfect competition.
ii. Price exceeds average costs:Implies that under oligopoly, there are restrictions on entry of new organizations. Thus, organizations charge prices more than the average costs. Therefore, consumers have to pay more in case of oligopoly market.
iii. Lower Efficiency:
Leads to non-optimum levels of output. This is because the output produced under oligopoly depends on the market share held by the organization. Thus, the oligopoly organizations fail to build the optimum scales of economies and achieve optimum output.
iv. Selling Costs:
Refer to high promotional costs. The oligopolists engage in high promotion tasks to take the share of its rivals. Thus, the resources are wasted in form of high selling costs which do not add to the satisfaction of customers.
Apart from aforementioned points, oligopoly shows the poor performance from various other angles. From the point of economic welfare, it fails to satisfy customers since the price charged is very high, even more than average costs. In addition, sometimes oligopolists may face wasteful fluctuations in output as the output is not determined optimally.

Rock Bottom Gold Company recently repurchased 7 million shares of its common stock for $47 per share. The intent of the repurchase was to increase earnings per share to be more in line with competitors. Required: 1. Determine the impact of the stock repurchase on assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity. (Enter your answers in whole dollars not in millions (i.e., 1,000,000 not 1.0). Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)
The impact includes Assets = -$32,90,00,000, Liabilities = No Effect and Stockholder's Equity = -$32,90,00,000.
If the stock is repurchased, the cash will be paid. Thus, the assets would be decreased.
Also for the stock repurchase, the stockholder's equity will be decreased consequently.
Assets = Cash (7,000,000*$47)
Assets = -$329,000,000
Thus, the assets will decrease by $329,000,000.
Liabilities = No Effect
Thus, the liabilities will have no impact for the transaction.
Stockholder's Equity = -$329,000,000
Thus, the stockholder's equity will be decreased by $329,000,000.

The project has annual inflows of $54,000 except in 4th year where it will have inflows of $65,000 because the salvage value will be added to the inflows.
Present value of inflows = 54,000/1.12 + 54,000/1.12² + 54,000/1.12³ + 65,000/1.12⁴
= $160,516
Net Present Value = 160,516 - 160,000
= $516

Explanation:
An all-equity firm is considering the following projects: Project Beta IRR W .63 9.4 % X .76 10.5 Y 1.29 14.0 Z 1.40 17.1 The T-bill rate is 5.1 percent, and the expected return on the market is 12.1 percent. a. Which projects have a higher/lower expected return than the firm’s 12.1 percent cost of capital? b. Which projects should be accepted? c. Which projects will be incorrectly accepted/rejected or correctly accepted/rejected if the firm's overall cost of capital were used as a hurdle rate?
Answer:
Project Beta IRR project's cost of equity
W .63 9.4% = 5.1% + (0.63 x 7%) = 9.51%
X .76 10.5% = 5.1% + (0.76 x 7%) = 10.42%
Y 1.29 14.0% = 5.1% + (1.29 x 7%) = 14.13%
Z 1.40 17.1% = 5.1% + (1.40 x 7%) = 14.9%
the company's cost of capital = 12%
a. Which projects have a higher/lower expected return than the firm’s 12.1 percent cost
of capital?
higher expected return ⇒ projects Y and Z lower expected return ⇒ projects W and Xb. Which projects should be accepted?
accepted ⇒ projects X and Z (their IRR is higher than their Re) rejected ⇒ projects W and Y (their IRR is lower than their Re)c. Which projects will be incorrectly accepted/rejected or correctly accepted/rejected if the firm's overall cost of capital were used as a hurdle rate?
if the company uses its cost of capital, then it would incorrectly reject project W and incorrectly accept project Y
