Answer:
b. Business-exchange
Explanation:
In making business decisions, several factors tend to affect the outcome of decisions. Business-exchange factors affecting a business would take into consideration factors such as inflation rates, interest rates, and competitions. Higher inflation rates will translate to lower competitiveness of goods and a decrease in the demand for products. Lower inflation rates, however, will result lead to an increase in the demand of the country's currency for the purchase of its goods.
So, when Ford considers inflation rates before making the decision to move to another location, it is considering the business-exchange environment.
A corporation has $7,000,000 in income after paying preferred dividends of $500,000. The company has 1,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The market price of the stock is $56. What is the price-earnings ratio
Answer:
Price earning ratio= 8 times
Explanation:
Price earning ratio = Price per share /Earnings per share
Price per share = 56, EPS =?
Price per share =56, EPS = Total earnings available to ordinary shareholders/Number of shares
7,000,000/1,000,000= $7 per share
Price earning ratio = 56/7= 8 times
Price earning ratio= 8 times
Whatever, Inc., has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 5.84 percent and semiannual payments. The yield to maturity is 6.1 percent and the bond matures in 25 years. What is the market price if the bond has a par value of $1,000
Answer:
The answer is $966.87
Explanation:
It is a semiannual paying coupon.
N(Number of periods) = 50 years ( 25 years x 2)
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 3.05percent( 6.1 percent ÷ 2)
PV(present value or market price) = ?
PMT( coupon payment) = $29.2 ( [5.84 percent÷ 2] x $1,000)
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 50; I/Y = 3.05; PMT = 29.2; FV= $1,000; CPT PV= -966.87
Therefore, the market price of the bond is $966.87

you want to buy a new ski boat 2 years from now, and you plan to save $7,000 per year, beginning one year from today. you will deposit your savings in an account that pays 6.2% interest. how much will you have just after you make your second deposit, 2 years from now
Answer:
$14,434
Explanation:
The question is asking to find the future value of making a payment of $7,000 every year for two years
The formula for finding future value =
FV = A x annuity factor
Annuity factor = {[(1+r) ^N ] - 1} / r
A = amount = $7,000
R = interest rate = 6.2%
N = 2
[(1.062) ^2 - 1 ] / 0.062 = 2.062
2.062 x $7,000 = $14,434
I hope my answer helps you
Answer: $14429
Explanation:
For this question, we will use the annuity formula to solve. The future value of an annuity is given as:
= C × ([(1+i)^n - 1] / i)
where,
C = The Cash flow per period
= $7000
i = the interest rate
= 6.2%
n = number of years
= 2
Future value of annuity will now be:
= 7000 × ([(1+0.062)²- 1]/0.062)
= 7000 × ([1.062)² - 1]/0.062)
= 7000 × [(1.1278 - 1)/0.062)]
= 7000 × (0.1278/ 0.062)
= 7000 × 2.0613
= $14429
The answer is $14429
Gates Corporation reported the following information concerning its direct materials: Direct materials purchased (actual) $ 673,000 Standard cost of materials purchased $ 688,000 Standard price times actual amount of materials used $ 444,000 Actual production 22,000 units Standard direct materials costs per unit produced $ 20Required: Compute the direct materials cost variances.
Answer:
The answer is 15000 F
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Direct materials purchased = $673,000
Standard cost of materials purchased = $688,000
Actual production = 22,000 unit
Standard price times real amount of materials = $ 444,000
Now we find the direct materials cost variances.
Thus
Direct material price variance = (444000-673000)
= 229000 U
Then
Direct material efficiency variance = (688000-444000)
= 244000 F
Total cost variance = (688000-673000)
= 15000 F
Therefore the direct materials variances is 15000 F
On January 1, 2021, Pharoah, Inc. signed a 10-year noncancelable lease for a heavy duty drill press. the lease stipulated annual payments of $340,000 starting at the beginning of the first year, with title passing to Pharoah at the expiration of the lease. Pharoah treated this transaction as a finance lease. The drill press has an estimated useful life of 15 years, with no salvage value. Pharoah uses straight-line depreciation for all of its plant assets. Aggregate lease payments were determined to have a present value of $2,002,339, based on implicit interest of 11%.In its 2021 income statement, what amount of interest expense should Pharoah report from this lease transaction
Answer:
$182,857.29
Explanation:
Here, Pharoah, Inc. average lease payments have a present value of $2,002,339
First lease payment = $340,000
Interest rate = 11%
To find the interest rate, first deduct the first lease payment.
$2,002,339 - $340,000
= $1,662,339
This is deducted so as to reduce total lease liability.
Find the amount of interest expense:
$1,662,339 × interest rate
= $1,662,339 × 11%
= $182,857.29
In its 2021 income statement, the amount of interest expense Pharoah should report from this lease transaction is $182,857.29

Consider once again the project with the cash flows described below. Determine whether this is a simple or non- simple investment AND how many possible values of i* exist using the Accumulated Cash Flow Sign Test.
A0 = -$7,500, A1 = 4,200, A2 = 3,675, A3 = -2,625, A4 = 5,250, A5 = -1,050, A6 = 1,575, A7 = 675, A8 = -3,000, A9 = 750, A10 = 750
Simple investment, at most 1 i* value
Non-simple investment, at most 1 i* value
Simple investment, at most 3 i* values
Non-simple investment, at most 3 i* values
Simple investment, at most 7 i* values
Answer:
The correct option is (D)
Explanation:
Using the accumulated cash flow sign test,
- This investment is a non-simple investment.
This is because the net cash flow changes sign (to positive and back to negative) more than once, during the study period.
- There are at most 3 i* values. That is values for Internal Rate of Return. This is owing to the multiple change in sign during the period.
The correct answer is option D - Non simple investment with at most 3 values for internal rate of return (i*)

6. Achieving lower pollution Suppose a political candidate criticizes a government pollution permit policy that she says lets corporations buy and sell the right to pollute. She argues that our right to breathe and the future of our planet require real regulation instead of this type of government policy. Which of the following describes why most economists would disagree with her statement? A corrective tax would result in a more efficient outcome than either tradable permits or government regulation would. The environment is so important that it should be protected as much as possible, regardless of the cost. A free market in tradable pollution permits is typically more efficient than government regulation. Clean air is a fundamental right, and government regulation will allow too much pollution.
Answer:
A free market in tradable pollution permits is typically more efficient than government regulation.
Explanation:
In this scenario, most economists would disagree with the political candidate's statement because a free market in tradable pollution permits is typically more efficient than government regulation.
Most economists would disagree because a free market in tradable pollution permits, is basically giving manufacturing companies and individuals the legal right to pollution of the environment. For example, XYZ company is purchasing the permit of 500 units of carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution annually, this simply means it is permitted to pollute the environment by 500 units of CO2 annually.
Therefore, her submission is in contrast or conflicts with the concept of real regulations as government regulation may not necessarily be more effective and efficient than the former.
Additionally, a free market in tradable pollution permits has some sort of benefits as companies can resell their unused permits or devise a cheaper means of reducing pollution. It also compensate companies that significantly reduces its pollution of the environment.

Horgen Corporation manufactures two products: Product M68B and Product H27T. The company is considering implementing an activity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates its manufacturing overhead to four cost pools. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Products M68B and H27T.
Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Total Cost Total Activity
Machining Machine-hours $299,000 13,000 MHs
Machine setups Number of setups $240,000 400 setups
Product design Number of products $80,000 2 products
Order size Direct labor-hours $290,000 10,000 DLHs
Activity Measure Product Product
Machine-hours M68B H27T
Number of setups 6,000 7,000
Number of products 250 150
Direct labor-hours 4,000 6,000
Using the ABC system, how much total manufacturing overhead cost would be assigned to Product H27T?
a. $291,000
b. $174,000
c. S465,000
d. $454,500
Answer: $465,000
Explanation:
The activity-based costing (ABC) is used to know the total cost of activities that is vital to make a product. In ABC system, for every activity which goes into production, a cost will be assigned.
Based on the figures in the question, the following can be deduced:
Machining:
= 299,000/13,000 × 7,000
= 23 × 7,000
= $161,000
Machine set up:
= 240,000/400 × 150
= 600 × 150
= $90000
Product design:
= 80,000/2
= $40,000
Order size:
= 290,000/10,000 × 6,000
= 29 × 6,000
= $174,000
Total = $161,000 + $90,000 + $40,000 + $174,000
= $465,000
The total manufacturing overhead cost that would be assigned to Product H27T is $465,000.
The total manufacturing overhead cost that would be assigned to Product H27T is $465,000.
Product H27T Machining = $299,000/13,000 × 7,000
Product H27T Machining = $23 × 7,000
Product H27T Machining = $161,000
Product H27T Machine set up = $240,000/400 × 150
Product H27T Machine set up = $600 × 150
Product H27T Machine set up = $90000
Product H27T Product design = $80,000/2
Product H27T Product design = $40,000
Product H27T Order size = $290,000/10,000 × 6,000
Product H27T Order size = $29 × 6,000
Product H27T Order size = $174,000
Total manufacturing overhead cost = $161,000 + $90,000 + $40,000 + $174,000
Total manufacturing overhead cost = $465,000
In conclusion, the total manufacturing overhead cost that would be assigned to Product H27T is $465,000.

At Nice Price for the Ice, an ice cream parlor, customers routinely buy a scoop of ice cream for $2.75. If consumers purchase one scoop of ice cream at $2.75, then why don't they keep buying more and more scoops for $2.75 until the store sells out?
Answer:
Consumers would not keep buying ice cream at $2.75 because after purchasing a certain amount of ice cream, utility would be maximised and consumers would not value ice cream at $2.75 anymore. Consumers would not purchase a product it the marginal utility that would be derived from consuming the product is less than the price.
According to the law of diminishing marginal utility, as more units of a product is increased, total utility increases but at a decreasing rate.
Explanation:
Marginal utitiy is the increase in utility that is derived from consuming one more unit of a product.
On March 1, Bartholomew Company purchased a new stamping machine with a list price of $70,000. The company paid cash for the machine; therefore, it was allowed a 5% discount. Other costs associated with the machine were: transportation costs, $1,300; sales tax paid, $3,120; installation costs, $1,000; routine maintenance during the first month of operation, $1,200. What is the cost of the machine
Answer:
$73,120
Explanation:
Bartholomew company purchased a new stamping machine with a list price of $70,000
They were given a discount of 5%
Other costs that are associated with the machine include
Transportation costs= $1,300
Sales tax= $3,120
Installation costs= $1,000
Routine maintenance during the first month= $1,200
Then, the cost of the machine can be calculated as follows
(70,000-5/100×70,000) + $1,300+$3,120+$1,000+$1,200
$66,500+$1,300+$3,120+$1,000+$1,200
= $73,120
Hence the cost of the machine is $73,120
Roses, Incorporated made a batch of flower arrangements that were sold to grocery stores for Valentine's Day. The standard and actual costs of the roses used in each arrangement are as follows:
Standard Actual
No of roses per arrangement 6 6.1
Price per rose .60 .58
A. The company made and sold 1,000 of the Valentine's Day arrangement. Based on this informaton the materials price variance was:________.
a. $122 favorable.
b. $122 unfavorable.
c. $60 favorable.
d. $60 unfavorable.
B Based on this informaton the materials usage variance was:_______.
a. $122 favorable.
b. $122 unfavorable.
c. $ 60 favorable.
d. $60 unfavorable.
Answer:
b. $122 unfavorable.
d. $60 unfavorable.
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Material Price Variance = (Standard price - Actual price ) × Actual quantity of Roses
where,
Actual quanity is
= 6.1 × 1,000 arrangements
= 6,100 roses
And,
Standard price = 0.6 and Actual price = 0.58
So, the material price variance is
= ($0.6 - $0.58 ) × 6,100 roses
= $122 Favorable
2, Now the material usage variance is
Material usage variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) Standard price per rose
= ($6 × 1,000 - 6,100) × 0.6
= $60 Unfavorable

Murray Company reports net income of $731,000 for the year. It has no preferred stock, and its weighted-average common shares outstanding is 340,000 shares. Compute its basic earnings per share.
Answer:
$2.15 Per share
Explanation:
The earnings per share (EPS) shows the earning per each common shares. It can be calculated as the below
EPS= (Net Income- Preferred Dividend) / Weighted Average common share outstanding
EPS= $731,000 - $0 / $340,000
EPS= $731,000 / $340,000
EPS= $2.15 Per share
The basic earnings per share is $2.15
One-year Treasury securities yield 4%. The market anticipates that 1-year from now 1-year Treasury securities will yield 2.1%. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what should be the yield today for 2-year Treasury securities? Write your answer as a percentage, i.e. for example write 8% as 8.
Answer:
3.05%
Explanation:
According to Pure Expectation Theory, the future short term interest rates are actually the forward rates.
Mathematically,
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + r1,0)^1 * (1 + r1,1)^1
Here,
r2,0 is the rate of interest for 2 year treasury security from today
r1,0 is the rate of the interest for 1 year treasury security from today
r1,1 is the rate of the interest for 2 year treasury security from Year 1
By Putting Values, we have:
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + 0.04)^1 * (1 + 0.021)^1
(1 + r2,0)^2 = 1.06184
By taking square-root on both sides, we have:
(1 + r2,0) = 1.0305
r2,0 = 3.05%
Lease A does not contain a bargain purchase option, but the lease term is equal to 90% of the estimated economic life of the leased property. Lease B does not transfer ownership of the property to the lessee by the end of the lease term, but the lease term is equal to 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased property. Based on this information alone, how should the lessee classify these leases
Answer: Lease A Capital lease
Lease B Capital lease
Explanation:
A Capital lease is known as a lease agreement in which the lessor ( someone giving out the property) agrees to transfer the ownership rights to the lessee ( someone acquiring or needing the services of the property). After completion of the agreed lease period.
In a capital lease, the lessor is usually mandated to transfer the ownership rights of the asset to the lessee upon the end of the agreed lease term between both parties.
For 2018, Rest-Well Bedding uses machine-hours as the only overhead cost-allocation base. The direct cost rate is $6.00 per unit. The selling price of the product is $21.00. The estimated manufacturing overhead costs are $275,000 and estimated 40,000 machine hours. The actual manufacturing overhead costs are $350,000 and actual machine hours are 50,000. Using job costing, the 2018 actual indirect-cost rate is ________.
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6.875 per machine-hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The estimated manufacturing overhead costs are $275,000 and an estimated 40,000 machine hours.
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 275,000/40,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6.875 per machine-hour

We compute the amount of profit and loss, few steps will be taken which is given below:
Step 1: we compute the book value of the equipment which is shown below:
Book value = purchase price - depreciation claimed
= $79,100 -$39,550
= $39550
Therefore then book value is $39,550
Step 2: we calculate the amount of Sumner's gain or loss which is shown below:
The gain (loss) is = the value (sale) - book value
= $31,800 - 39550
= -7750
Therefore the loss from the sale of the equipment is -$7750
Which implies that Sumner's has a loss of $-7750
A large international company has two business units. Invested assets and condensed income statement data for each business unit for the past year are as follows: Compute the following for Business Unit 1: a) Operating Income Using the Dupont Formula: b) Profit Margin % (round % to 1 decimal) c) Investment Turnover (round to 2 decimals) d) Return on Investment (round 1 decimal) Compute the following for Business Unit 2: 2A) Operating Income Using the Dupont Formula: 2B) Profit Margin (round % to 1 decimal) 2C) Investment Turnover (round to 2 decimals) 2D) Return on Investment (round 1 decimal)
Answer:
1. Compute the following for Business Unit 1:
a) Operating Income = $117,500
b) Profit Margin = 20.7%
c) Investment Turnover = 0.86
d) Return on Investment = 0.2
2. Compute the following for Business Unit 2:
a) Operating Income = $69,750
b) Profit Margin = 12.2%
c) Investment Turnover = 1.18
d) Return on Investment = 0.1
Explanation:
1. Compute the following for Business Unit 1:
a) Operating Income
Operating Income = Revenue – Operating expenses = $280,000 – $162,500 = $117,500
Using the Dupont Formula:
b) Profit Margin % (round % to 1 decimal)
Net income = Operating income – Services department charges = $117,500 - $59,500 = $58,000
Profit Margin = Net income / Revenue = ($58,000 / $280,000) * 100 = 20.7%
c) Investment Turnover (round to 2 decimals)
Investment Turnover = Revenue / Invested Assets = $280,000 / $325,000 = 0.86
d) Return on Investment (round 1 decimal)
Return on Investment = Net income / Invested Assets = $58,000 / $325,000 = 0.1785 = 0.2
2. Compute the following for Business Unit 2:
a) Operating Income
Operating Income = Revenue – Operating expenses = $222,500 – $152,750 = $69,750
Using the Dupont Formula:
b) Profit Margin % (round % to 1 decimal)
Net income = Operating income – Services department charges = $69,750 - $42,625 = $27,125
Profit Margin = Net income / Revenue = ($27,125 / $222,500) * 100 = 12.2%
c) Investment Turnover (round to 2 decimals)
Investment Turnover = Revenue / Invested Assets = $222,500 / $189,000 = 1.18
d) Return on Investment (round 1 decimal)
Return on Investment = Net income / Invested Assets = $27,125 / $189,000 = 0.1435 = 0.1
A customer has an individual cash account, an individual margin account, a joint cash account with his wife, and a custodial account for each of his 2 children. If the firm liquidates, Securities Investor Protection Corporation covers::________

An insurance policy sells for $1200. Based on past data, an average of 1 in 100 policyholders will file a $10 comma 000 claim, an average of 1 in 250 policyholders will file a $40 comma 000 claim, and an average of 1 in 400 policyholders will file an $80 comma 000 claim. Find the expected value (to the company) per policy sold. If the company sells 30 comma 000 policies, what is the expected profit or loss?
Answer:
Expected Value = $740
Expected profit = $22.2m
Explanation:
We can easily calculate the expected value and expected profit/loss in this situation by some minor working
Expected values = Expected Claim - per policy cost
Expected profit/loss = (Expected claim - per policy cost) x number of policies
As you can see per policy cost and no of policies are given in the question data we just need to find expected claim for calculation of expected profit or loss and expected value
Expected Claim = (1/100x$10,000)+(1/250x$40,000)+(1/400x$80,000)
Expected Claim = 100 + 160 + 200
Expected Claim = 460
Now we have a value of expected claim lets put it into Expected profit/loss formula and expected value formula
Expected value = 460-1200
Expected value = -740
-$740 is the value per policy
Expected profit/loss = (460 - $1200 per policy) x 30,000
Expected profit or loss = -22,200,000
Expected loss to the customer = -$22.2 m
Expected profit for the company = $22.2m
El Tapitio purchased restaurant furniture on September 1, 2021, for $45,000. Residual value at the end of an estimated 10-year service life is expected to be $6,000. Calculate depreciation expense for 2021 and 2022, using the straight-line method, and assuming a December 31 year-end. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
$1,300 and $3,900
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the year 2021 and 2022 using the straight line method is shown below:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($45,000 - $6,000) ÷ (10 years)
= ($39,000) ÷ (10 years)
= $3,900
In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life
For the year 2021, it is
= $3,900 × 4 months ÷ 12 months
= $1,300
The four months are taken from Sep 1 to Dec 31
And, for the year 2022, it is $3,900
1.List the three steps of the planning phase of the strategic marketing process. Briefly describe the core elements and the purpose of the three steps. 2.Which demographic cohorts are also known as the Millennial and Z Generations? Describe the interests and lifestyles of each cohort and explain why it is important to marketers. 3.Explain the actions and considerations that relate to the five stages of the consumer purchase decision process.
Answer:
1.List the three steps of the planning phase of the strategic marketing process.
The three sepecifc steps are:
Defining target audience - in this step, a segment of the market is chosen as the target for the good or service. (for example, young people, old people, wealthy people, poor people, etc).Setting measurable goals - in this step, a specific sales volume goal is determined.Developing budget - in this step, a detailed budget is developed in order to carry out the strategy that should help the company reach its marketing goal (previous step).2.Which demographic cohorts are also known as the Millennial and Z Generations?
Millenials: those born between 1981 and 1996. They tend to be progressive, and be interested in social media, internet culture, and technology.
Generation Z: those born between 1996 and and the early 2010s. They are much like millenials but even more so: more progressive, more interested in technology, and in social justice causes.
This information is crucial for marketers because they help complete the first step in the marketing planning process: targeting an audience. The demographic cohorts are in fact, market segments, albeit very broad ones.
3.Explain the actions and considerations that relate to the five stages of the consumer purchase decision process.
Problem or need recognition: in this stage, the customer becomes aware of a need that has not been met.
Information search: the customer looks for a product or service that can meet his needs.
Evaluation of alternatives: the customer chooses among the goods or services that could meet his needs.
Purchase: the customer completes the market transaction: the purchase of the good or service.
Post-purchase behaviour: the customer makes use of the product, or service, and decides whether his need was satisfied or not. ALso decides whether to buy the same good or service in the future or not.
Au Sable Corporation reported taxable income of $760,000 in year 2 and paid federal income taxes of $176,500. Not included in the computation was a disallowed penalty of $42,000, and life insurance proceeds of $185,000. Included in the computation of taxable income is a deduction for the bargain element of exercised nonqualified stock options of $67,000. The corporation's current earnings and profits for year 2 would be:
Answer:
$726,500
Explanation:
The computation of current earnings and profits for year 2 is shown below:-
current earnings and profits for year 2 = Profit as per Income Tax - Penalty disallowed + Life insurance proceed - Tax Expenses
= $760,000 - $42,000 + $185,000 - $176,500
= $945,000 - $42,000 - $176,500
= $726,500
Therefore we have applied the above formula to reach out the current earnings and profits for year 2.
