If we moved from mexico to USA, Florida, and still have rental property in Mexico and we file taxes seperately, how do we file in US and Mexico?

What does it mean to say that the US workplace is based on a male prototype of the ideal worker? Describe ways that both men and women suffer from the expectation associated with this ideal.

A multinational company has many divisions. Two of these divisions are Mic Division and Mandy Division. The Mic Division produces a component that is used by the Mandy Division. The cost of manufacturing the component is as follows:

*Based on a normal volume of 400,000 components

Other costs incurred by the Mic Division are as follows: Fixed selling and administrative: $400,000
Variable selling: $1.50 per unit

Mic Division has been selling its manufactured component for $40 in the external market. The Mic Division is capable of producing 500,000 components per year. However, the division expects to be only able to sell 400,000 components next year. The variable selling expenses are avoidable if the component is transferred internally.

Mandy Division has been buying a very similar component from an external supplier at $34 per unit. The division expects to use 100,000 units of this component next year. The manager of the Mandy Division has offered to buy 100,000 units from the Mic Division at $24 per unit.

Required:

(a) Compute the minimum transfer price that the Mic Division would be willing to accept.

(b) Compute the maximum transfer price that the Mandy Division would be willing to pay.

(c) What will be the effect on company-wide profit if 100,000 components are transferred internally, at a price of $24 per unit, instead of Mandy Division buying at $34 per unit from the external supplier?

(d) Assume that Mandy Division has decided to expand its production volume, and will now require 200,000 units of the component. Advise the CEO of the company on setting corporate policies with respect to internal transfers between Mic and Mandy divisions. Support your answer with relevant computations.

1. When analyzing a firm’s financial performance, should the analyst focus on the incremental after-tax profits or the incremental after-tax cash flows of the firm? Explain your reasoning!

2. Holding all else constant, how would a significant increase in interest bearing debt impact the measure of the firm’s Free Cash Flow? Explain!

3. If a firm uses an accelerated depreciation expense method (MACRS) versus straight line depreciation expense for a newly acquired asset, what would be the impact on the firm’s operating profit after taxes in the first year the asset was in use? What would be the impact on the firm’s free cash flow after taxes in the first year the asset was in use? Which method of depreciation would you recommend?

4. In 2019, the firm’s operating profit after taxes decreased significantly, however, the firm’s free cash flow increased in 2019. Assuming the firm’s depreciation expense and W/C did not change, what is a likely explanation for the set of performance measures for this firm in 2019? Based on this information, was the firm’s performance in 2019 good, bad, or unclear?

5. In 2019, the firm’s operating profit after taxes was constant, the firm’s free cash flow decreased significantly, and the firm’s EVA was constant. What is a likely explanation for the set of performance measures for this firm in 2019? Based on this information, was the firm’s performance in 2019 good, bad, or unclear?

6. What could account for the fact that the firm’s economic value added and ROIC was positive and significantly greater than their peer firm in 2019, while the firm’s abnormal stock return compared to their peer was negative in 2019?

7. In January of 2020, Ford Motor Corporation is going to announce their plans to start constructing a production facility in Kenya in the second quarter of 2020. It is expected that Ford will not begin selling cars and trucks in Kenya until the fourth quarter of 2021 (depreciation expense will not begin until the firm starts to utilize the assets in their operations). Along with the announcement to expand into Kenya, Ford announced their expectations of a very high return on invested capital from this investment opportunity. The project will be financed at the firm’s current debt to asset ratio (w_d) of around 25%. What is the likely impact of this decision for Ford’s performance in fiscal year 2020? More specifically, explain your predicted impact on the following performance measures:

Operating Margin:

Operating Return on Assets:

Free Cash Flow:

Economic Value Added:

Total Shareholders’ Return:

The average cholesterol level in the general US population is 189 mg/dL. A researcher wants to see if the average cholesterol for men in the US is different from 189 mg/dL. She takes a sample of 81 American males and finds a sample mean of 194 mg/dL and a sample standard deviation of 10.4.

Create a 90% confidence interval for the true average cholesterol level of the general US male population.
What is the 90% confidence interval?

What is the correct interpretation of the confidence interval?

Are the assumptions met?

Conduct a hypothesis test at the 0.10 significance level to test the researcher’s question.
What are the hypotheses?

What is the significance level? A. 0.01B. 0.04 C. 0.05 D. 0.10
What is the value of the test statistic?

What is the p-value?

Let us consider a 100-micron diameter spherical cell at room temperature with a cell membrane that has capacitance of one microfarad/cm2. Initially, there is no potassium in the system. However, let us introduce a potassium-anion salt into the system such that you have a concentration of 52 times more on the inside than the outside. (For this case, it is 130 mM inside and 2.5 mM outside.) Let us assume that only potassium can diffuse through the cell. At the beginning (with no salt), the membrane potential is 0 mV; however, once the salt was introduced, potassium will diffuse out such that an equilibrium potential of -100 mV is reached. How many potassium ions must diffuse out of the inside of the cell to produce a change from 0 to -100 mV?

This week discusses contract law both as a general concept and also contract law a foundation for the provider-patient or facility-patient relationship.

Give an example of a contract that you or someone you know has signed. We sign these things all the time from buying a car to a washing machine to leasing an apartment to going bungee jumping, etc.

Please explain who the parties are (buyer-seller; patient-doctor; leasor-lessee).

Let us know whether you read the terms of the contract.

Tell us whether there was any consideration (payment of money or deposit of something of value).

Let us know something that could be considered a breach of the contract (hypothetically).

Discuss what you think the damages could be.

1-a.What’s the difference between nominal and real GDP? Which one is a better macroeconomic indicator? Why or why not?

1-b. What’s the annual nominal and real GDP growth rate of the US in the last 5 years? What’s conclusion can you make from those data (.i.e. Do you think the US economy is improving or slowing down?)
