His 2008 gross profit is 3.67% lower than the industry average (or 1.1% of sales). All else being equal, a 30% gross profit (the average) would have increased his net income by $4600. 600×0.30-155.01-0.30=17.5

Actual costs were $31.50 / lb., which may indicate unanticipated price increases (for example an increase in commodity prices since steel is a commodity), or higher costs for additional orders of steel required to meet the increased production demand. Although steel price variance was unfavorable, we see a positive impact from efficiency variance, as only 3% more steel (113,400 vs. 100,000 lbs.) was required to produce 8% more output (10,800 vs. 10,000 bikes). Paint has a total unfavorable variance of $1,187. Paint caused an unfavorable variance from both a price and efficiency standpoint.
C) The answers are different because if the interest is left untouched, it makes the principal amount higher each year, giving more money after 10 years.

A) If the individual retires at the age of 65, having started the program at age 40, there would be $219,318 in the account. $3,000 x (8% in 25 years) 3000 x 73.106 = $219,318 B) If
Page 484 has formulas!! 6. When the firms maintains a target leverage ratio, we compute its levered value V^L as the present value of its free cash flows using the WACC, whereas its unlevered value V^U is the present value of its free cash flows using its unlevered cost of capital or pretax WACC. 15.3 Recapitalizing to Capture the Tax Shield 1. when securities are fairly priced, the original shareholders of a firm capture the full benefit of the interest tax shield from an increase in leverage 15.4 Personal
Monopoly output: MR=400-4q MC=40 MR=MC 400 – 4q = 40 then q=90 unit The reason that producing on half the monopoly output (90*1.5 = 135) a Nash equilibrium outcome is that it will exceed the market demand of Nash equilibrium ($160). 4. Problem #8, p. 221-222 in text. (HINT: First calculate the profits of a market with two firms, and then continue this process for 3, 4, and 5 firms.) a.
A positive side to these transfer taxes is that “it takes lifetime transfers into account to determine the tax on assets transferred at death” (Spilker, Ayers, Robinson, Outslay & Worsham, 2013, pg. 25-3) Gift taxes are in a sense a prepayment of the estate tax.

If the cash is higher than the net income, the company’s net income is of high quality.

According to, the cash flow statement Home Depot, Incorporated is similar to fiscal year 2007. In fiscal year 2008, Home Depot Incorporated generated $5.5 billion of cash flow from operations and used $2.0 billion to repay short-term debt and other obligations plus $1.8 billion for capital expenditures and $1.5 billion in dividends.
