Pineapple Motor Company manufactures two types of specialty electric motors, a commercial motor and a residential motor, through two production departments, Assembly and Testing. Presently, the company uses a single plantwide factory overhead rate for allocating factory overhead to the two products. However, management is considering using the multiple production department factory overhead rate method. The following factory overhead was budgeted for Pineapple:

Direct machine hours were estimated as follows:

In addition, the direct machine hours (dmh) used to produce a unit of each product in each department were determined from engineering records, as follows:

Assume you have just been hired as a business manager of PizzaPalace, a regional pizza restaurant chain. The company’s EBIT was $50 million last year and is not expected to grow. The firm is currently financed with all equity, and it has 10 million shares outstanding. When you took your corporate finance course, your instructor stated that most firms’ owners would be financially better off if the firms used some debt. When you suggested this to your new boss, he encouraged you to pursue the idea. As a first step, assume that you obtained from the firm’s investment banker the following estimated costs of debt for the firm at different capital structures:

Percent Financed with Debt, 0% — 20 8.0% 30 8.5 40 10.0 50 12.0 If the company were to recapitalize, then debt would be issued and the funds received would be used to repurchase stock. PizzaPalace is in the 40% state-plus-federal corporate tax bracket, its beta is 1.0, the risk-free rate is 6%, and the market risk premium is 6%.

a.Using the free cash flow valuation model, show the only avenues by which capital structure can affect value

b. 1.What is business risk? What factors influence a firm’s business risk? 2.What is operating leverage, and how does it affect a firm’s business risk? Show the operating break-even point if a company has fixed costs of $200, a sales price of $15, and variable costs of $10.

A measure of the strength of the linear relationship that exists between two variables is called: Slope/Intercept/Correlation coefficient/Regression equation. If both variables X and Y increase simultaneously, then the coefficient of correlation will be: Positive/Negative/Zero/One. If the points on the scatter diagram indicate that as one variable increases the other variable tends to decrease the value of r will be: Perfect positive/Perfect negative/Negative/Zero. The range of correlation coefficient is: -1 to +1/0 to 1/-∞ to +∞/0 to ∞. Which of the following values could NOT represent a correlation coefficient? r = 0.99/r = 1.09/r = -0.73/r = -1.0. The correlation coefficient is used to determine: A specific value of the y-variable given a specific value of the x-variable/A specific value of the x-variable given a specific value of the y-variable/The strength of the relationship between the x and y variables/None of these. If two variables, x and y, have a very strong linear relationship, then: There is evidence that x causes a change in y/There is evidence that y causes a change in x/There might not be any causal relationship between x and y/None of these alternatives is correct. If the Pearson correlation coefficient R is equal to 1 (r=1) then: There is a negative relationship between the two variables. /There is no relationship between the two variables. /There is a perfect positive relationship between the two variables. /There is a positive relationship between the two variables. If the correlation between 2 variables is -.77, which of the following is true? There is a fairly strong negative linear relationship/An increase in one variable will cause the other variable to decline by 75%

Minion, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $308,100. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to be $46,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 20 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 31 percent lower. The company is considering a $160,000 debt issue with an interest rate of 5 percent. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 7,900 shares outstanding. The company has a tax rate of 24 percent, a market-to-book ratio of 1.0, and the stock price remains constant.

a-1. Calculate earnings per share (EPS) under each of the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

a-2. Calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

b-1. Calculate earnings per share (EPS) under each of the three economic scenarios assuming the company goes through with recapitalization. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Whenever I am attempting to write a simple program on C++ I get an error message that reads "cout was not declared in this scope". Literally every time. This has become frustrating because I have even written my code the exact same way as some of my classmates who got theirs to compile and run with no sign of this error at all, and yet min gives this answer. I will leave an example of a code where this error message appeared. Hopefully you can help. Thank you.

ex:

// Example program
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
double mass, velocity,energy;
cout<<"\n enter the objects weight";
cin>>mass;
cout<<"\n enter the objects velocity"
cin>>velocity;
energy=(1.0/2.0)*(mass*velocity)*2;
cout<<"\n mass = "<<mass<<"kg";
cout<<"\n velocity = "<<velocity<<"m/s";
cout<<"\n kinetic energy = "<<energy<<"kgm/s";
}

Here's the error message:

In function 'int main()': 8:1: error: 'cout' was not declared in this scope 8:1: note: suggested alternative: In file included from 2:0: /usr/include/c++/4.9/iostream:61:18: note: 'std::cout' extern ostream cout; /// Linked to standard output ^ 9:1: error: 'cin' was not declared in this scope 9:1: note: suggested alternative: In file included from 2:0: /usr/include/c++/4.9/iostream:60:18: note: 'std::cin' extern istream cin; /// Linked to standard input ^

How can I configure the button in this tip calculator to calculate the total using the entires for the bill and tip percentage? I'm using Visual Studio 2019 Xamarin.Forms
