A manufacturer of hardboard and fiber cement sidings and panels purchased new equipment for its new product line for $20,000. A declining balance depreciation at a rate of 1.5 times the straight line rate with a 5-year recovery period and an estimated salvage value of $8000 was used to write off the capital investment. The company expects to realize net revenue of $57,000 each year for the next 5 years. However, due to the sudden change in business direction, the company decided to sell the equipment after 2 years of operation for $21,000. Assuming an effective tax of 40% and an after-tax MARR of 12% per year, calculate the future worth of the after-tax cash flow at the end of year 2.(HINT: skip $ and comma symbols) Year BTCF ATCF 0 -20000 -20,000 1 57,000 36,600.00 2a 57,000 35,880.00 2b 25579 ...
Answers
Answer:
Hello from your question there is a mix up of the figures for the BTCF AFTER 2 years and the BTCF given in the table so i would work with the value contained in the table i.e ( 25579 )
answer : 71052
Explanation:
Declining balance amount can be expressed/calculated using this formula a
[tex]\frac{1.5}{N} ; d_{k} = B ( 1 - k )^{k-1} (R ) ;\\ Bv_{k} = B ( 1 - R )^{k}[/tex] also R = 1.5 / 5 = 0.3 , k = 2 years
therefore Bv[tex]_{2}[/tex] = 20000 ( 1 - 0.3 [tex])^{2}[/tex] = 9800
Mv = 25579
Recapturing depreciation = Mv - Bv = 25579 - 9800 = 15779
BTCF is calculated as = ( capital investment + GI - expense incurred )
TI = GI - Expense - Depreciation + Depreciation recapture + capital gain
ATCF = BTCF - taxes
taxes = TI (l)
The future worth of the after-tax cash flow at the end of Year 2
Fw = -20000(f/p,12%,2) + 36600(f/p,12,1) + 35880 + 19268
= -20000(1.2544) + 36600(1.1200) + 55148 = 71052

If the real money demand is greater than the real money supply, interest rates must rise to reach equilibrium in the money market as institutions sell bonds to obtain more money.1. True2. False
Answers
Answer:
2. False
Explanation:
The market for money is like the market for any other good: if demand is higher than supply, then, the price of money (the interest rate), will have to be lowered, so that money becomes cheaper and more abundant, and supply and demand become equal and reach equilibrium.
In this case, the centrla bank needs to lower the interest rates by buying bonds. When the central bank buys bonds, it prints more money that is put in the market, effectively increasing the supply of money, and lowering the interest rate in the meantime.
Marshall has received an inheritance and wants to invest a sum of money today that will yield $5,400 at the end of each of the next 10 years. Assuming he can earn an interest rate of 5% compounded annually, how much of his inheritance must he invest today
Answers
Answer:
$3,315.13
Explanation:
To determine the amount of inheritance Marshall should invest today, we have to calculate the present value of $5,400.
PV = FV (1 + r)^-n
FV = Future value = $5,400
P = Present value
R = interest rate 5%
N = number of years 10
$5400(1.05^-10) = $3,315.13

A company has net income of $7.10 million. Stockholders' equity at the beginning of the year is $35.05 million and, at the end of the year, it is $43.15 million. The only change to stockholders' equity came from net income. The return on equity ratio is approximately:
Answers
Answer:
Return on equity ratio 18.16%
Explanation:
Calculation for the return on equity ratio
This first step is to find the Average stock holder equity.
Using this formula
Average stock holder equity =Beginning stock holder equity + ending stock holder /2
Let plug in the formula
Average stock holder equity=$35.02+$43.15/2
Average stock holder equity =$78.17/2
Average stock holder equity =$39.085
Second step is to calculate for the return on equity ratio
Using this formula
Return on equity ratio=NET INCOME/STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
let plug in the formula
Return on equity ratio=$7.10/$39.085
Return on equity ratio=0.18165 ×100
Return on equity ratio=18.16%
Therefore The return on equity ratio is approximately 18.16%

Tru-U stock is selling for $41 a share. A 6-month call on Tru-U stock with a strike price of $45 is priced at $1.60. Risk-free assets are currently returning .29 percent per month. What is the price of a 6-month put on Tru-U stock with a strike price of $45?
Answers
Answer:
$4.82
Explanation:
Calculation for the price of the 6-month put on Tru-U stock
To find the price of a 6-month put on Tru-U stock with a strike price of $45 we are going to use Put-call parity formula to calculate it
Using this formula
Put-call parity: S + P = C + PV(E) P
Let plug in the formula
Put-call parity= $1.60 + ($45 / 1.0029^⁶) - $41 = Put-call parity=$1.60+($45/1.01752)-$41
Put-call parity=$1.60+(44.22517)-$41
Put-call parity=$45.82517-$41
Put-call parity=$4.82
Therefore the price of a 6-month put on Tru-U stock with a strike price of $45 will be $4.82

Mary makes monthly deposits of $450 at the end of each month over 25 consecutive years to support her retirement. If the account earns an interest rate of 7.5%, which amount comes closest to the value of the deposits at the end?
a. $120,938
b. $343,343
c. $382,667
d. $394,767
e. $367,100
Answers
Answer:
d. $394,767
Explanation:
For computing the amount of deposit at the end we need to apply the future value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment
Given that,
Present value = $0
Rate of interest = 7.5% ÷ 12 months = 0.625%
NPER = 25 years × 12 months = 300 months
PMT = $450
The formula is shown below:
= -FV(Rate;NPER;PMT;PV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the future value is $394,767

A bank has excess reserves of $1 million and makes a new loan for $500,000. If the bank faces a 10% required reserve ratio, by how much could the money supply increase when the loan is made
Answers
Answer:
With a 10% required reserve ratio, the money supply could increase by $500,000/r when the loan is made.
This equals $5,000,000 ($500,000/0.1) where r = 10%
Explanation:
a) The money multiplier is the amount of money that banks generate with each dollar of reserves. Reserves is the amount of deposits that the Federal Reserve requires banks to hold and not lend.
b) The formula for the money multiplier is simply 1/r, where r = the reserve ratio.
c) The reserve ratio, also known as Cash Reserve Ratio, is the percentage of deposits which commercial banks are required to keep as cash according to the directions of the central bank. It is used by the central bank to control the supply of money in the economy. When the central bank wants to increase the money supply, it lowers the reserve ratio and vice versa.
d) According to wikipedia.com, "the money supply is the total value of money available in an economy at a point of time." It is usually defined as currency in circulation plus demand deposits. It is the demand deposits that give commercial banks the ability to create money using the reserve ratio.

At the level of output at which a single-price monopolist maximizes profit, price is Group of answer choices
Answers
Answer:
Greater than marginal cost.
Explanation:
A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. It is also known as oligopoly, wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes. Any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market is generally referred to as a monopolist.
Also, a single-price monopolist is an individual or seller that sells each unit of its products to all its customer at the same price. Hence, a single-price monopolist doesn't engage in price discrimination among its customers (buyers).
At the level of output at which a single-price monopolist maximizes profit, price is greater than marginal cost because the marginal revenue would be below the demand curve.
However, if the marginal cost is greater than the price, the monopolist will not make any profit.
In a nutshell, profit maximization for the single-price monopolist occurs at the point where marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue (MC = MR) on the graph of price (P) against quantity (Q) of goods.
Characteristics of competitive markets The model of competitive markets relies on these three core assumptions:
1. There must be many buyers and sellersâa few players can't dominate the market.
2. Firms must produce an identical productâbuyers must regard all sellers' products as equivalent
. 3. Firms and resources must be fully mobile, allowing free entry into and exit from the industry. The first two conditions imply that all consumers and firms are price takers.
While the third is not necessary for price-taking behavior, assume for this problem that a market cannot maintain competition in the long run without free entry.

Answer:
The correct answers are:
First Scenario: It is not a perfect competitive market
Second Scenario: It is a perfect competitive market
Third Scenario: It is not a perfect competitive market
Foruth Scenario: It is not a perfect competitive market
Explanation:
First Scenario: The fact that the government has interfere with the market and make it impossible for other companies to operate in there then that market refers to a monopoly where the only seller is the U.S. Postal Service and therefore there can not be another companies selling in the market and that is why it is not a perfect competitive market.
Second Scenario: The fact that there are a lot of buyers and sellers and that the product is perceived as the same and therefore that this one is homogeneous to every consumer makes this market a perfect competitive one.
Third Scenario: The fact that the colleges vary on many variables such as location, size and educational quality makes it impossible to be a competitive market because there is not a homogenoues product but instead the buyers can choose among those colleges due to their differences and needs.
Fourth Scenario: The fact that there are only a few airlines and not many makes it impossible for the market to a be a perfect competitive one and therefore that this market is actually an oligopoly preferently because the buyers will choose mostly by price.

Answers
Answer:
The value of private savings plus public savings is $3,200
The value of the current account balance CA is $2,200
Explanation:
In order to calculate the value of private savings plus public savings we would have to make the following calculation:
Total saving = private saving+public saving
Total saving =GNP-Tax Collections-Consumption+Tax Collections-Government Purchases
Total saving =$12,000-$1,200-$7,200+$1,200-$1,600
Total saving =$3,200
To calculate the value of the current account balance CA we would have to make the following calculation:
value of the current account balance CA=GNP-Consumption-Investment-Government Purchases
value of the current account balance CA= $12,000 - $7,200 -$1,000-$1,600
value of the current account balance CA= $2,200

In your opinion which causes of work stress, or organizational stressors, are likely to be among the most common experienced by air traffic controllers? Explain your reasoning.
Answers
Answer:
There are four types of organizational stressors: task demands, physical demands, role demands, and interpersonal demands.
For air traffic controllers, task demands are probably the most common organizational stressor that they experience.
Among the task demands, we have the need of quick decisions, critical decisions, and the fact that some information may be incomplete.
The job of an air traffic controller is complex, difficult, requires taking quick, and specially, critical decisions all the time. A bad decision by a traffic controller can be very problematic, and even prove fatal, because of the delicate nature of the job. For all these reasons, air traffic controllers are likely to be subjected to this specific organizational stressor.

Answer:
(a) Determine the total and per-unit costs of manufacturing the Gas Cooker and Charcoal Smoker for the month, assuming all manufacturing overhead is assigned on the basis of direct labor dollars.
Gas Cooker:
total cost = $20,000 + $20,000 + $147,618 = $187,618
cost per unit = $187.62
Charcoal Smoker
total cost = $20,000 + $27,000 + $199,284 = $246,284
cost per unit = $61.57
(b) Determine the total and per-unit costs of manufacturing the Gas Cooker and Charcoal Smoker for the month, assuming manufacturing overhead is assigned using activity-based costing.
Gas Cooker:
total cost = $20,000 + $20,000 + $48,000 + $13,520 + $36,000 = $137,520
cost per unit = $137.52
Charcoal Smoker
total cost = $100,000 + $27,000 + $240,000 + $3,380 + $6,000 = $376,380
cost per unit = $94.10

When longer-term employees' salaries are lower than those of workers entering the firm today, ______ has occurred.
Answers
Answer: Salary compression
Explanation:
Salary compression is a situation that occurs when there is a negligible differences in pay between the workers in an organization despite the experience and skills level.
It usually occurs when the pay of the current employees that are working with a company does not keep up with the rise in market pay rate thereby giving rise to a situation whereby new employees are employed at a identical pay or better pay to those that have been at the organization.
Bonner Corp.'s sales last year were $345,000, and its year-end total assets were $355,000. The average firm in the industry has a total assets turnover ratio (TATO) of 2.4. Bonner's new CFO believes the firm has excess assets that can be sold so as to bring the TATO down to the industry average without affecting sales. By how much must the assets be reduced to bring the TATO to the industry average, holding sales constant? Use the year-end balance in your calculations. Select the correct answer. a. $211,325 b. $211,175 c. $211,101 d. $211,250 e. $211,026
Answers
Answer:
d. $211,250
Explanation:
The TATO is the ratio of sales to assets:
TATO = sales/assets
Filling in the desired numbers, we can find the desired level of assets:
2.4 = 345,000/assets
assets = 345,000/2.4 = 143,750
Starting with assets of 355,000 the reduction necessary to bring assets down to 143,750 is ...
$355,000 -143,750 = $211,250 . . . . matches choice D
Suppose the world price of cotton falls substantially. The demand for labor among cotton-producing firms in Texas will . The demand for labor among textile-producing firms in South Carolina, for which cotton is an input, will . The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as unemployment.
Suppose the government wants to reduce this type of unemployment. Which of the following policies would help achieve this goal? Check all that apply.
a. Extending the number of weeks for which unemployed workers are eligible for unemployment insurance benefits from the government
b. Taxing the price of placing a resume or posting a job opening on job-search website
c. Establishing government-run employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies
Answers
Answer:
Suppose the world price of cotton falls substantially. The demand for labor among cotton-producing firms in Texas will DECREASE. The demand for labor among textile-producing firms in South Carolina, for which cotton is an input, will INCREASE. The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as STRUCTURAL unemployment.
Structural unemployment is a non voluntary type of unemployment and it occurs because the skills of the workers are not the ones needed by the employers. In this case, labor that was used for producing cotton in Texas is no longer needed due to shifts in the world price of cotton.
Suppose the government wants to reduce this type of unemployment. Which of the following policies would help achieve this goal? Check all that apply.
c. Establishing government-run employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies
"In your opinion, how has social media affected customer service in a broad sense? Provide evidence that supports your opinion."
Answers
Explanation:
Social media directly impacted the relationship between consumer and company.
First, you need to consider how the internet and social media are widely used by thousands of people around the world as a way to connect with others and exchange information.
Realizing this phenomenon, companies decided to use social media as a way to interact with their customers and attract more audiences. Social media works as a space where the construction of the relationship takes place more instantly and a little less formally, which allows for more in-depth interaction and the creation of a valuable relationship between company and customer.
Through the social media it is possible that the time of an answer for example is drastically reduced, which alters the consumer perception in a positive way.
It is also possible that companies use social media as a tool to improve relationship marketing, which is the creation of value for the customer through content, photos and posts, which generate engagement, approximation, loyalty and connection with consumers.
On January 1, the Matthews Band pays $65,800 for sound equipment. The band estimates it will use this equipment for four years and perform 200 concerts. It estimates that after four years it can sell the equipment for $2,000. During the first year, the band performs 45 concerts. Compute the first-year depreciation using the units-of-production method. g
Answers
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $14,355
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Original cost= $65,800
Number of units= 200
Salvage value= $2,000
During the first year, the band performs 45 concerts.
To calculate the annual depreciation under the units-of- production method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units operated
Annual depreciation= [(65,800 - 2,000)/200]*45
Annual depreciation= $14,355
