Answer:
Explanation:
Economists generally agree that this agreement is not in the best interest of society because the price of track shoes is way higher than the marginal cost. Meaning that the company is basically taking advantage of the potential customers since they are profiting massively by overpricing the shoes. The shoes are not worth that price and the companies can easily drop the price and still make a good profit but instead are raising prices and taking advantage of potential customers.
Consider a 11-period binomial model with R=1.02R=1.02, S_0 = 100S 0 =100, u=1/d= 1.05u=1/d=1.05. Compute the value of a European call option on the stock with strike K=102K=102. The stock does not pay dividends. Please submit your answer rounded to two decimal places. So for example, if your answer is 3.45673.4567 then you should submit an answer of 3.463.46. 1 point
Answer: 1.76
Explanation:
Given the following :
R=1.02,
S0 = 100
u=1/d= 1.05
Strike(k) = 102
Total Payoff = (probability of upside × upside Payoff) + (probability of downside × downside Payoff)
Upside Price = u × S0 = 1.05 × 100 = 105
downside Price = S0/u = 100/1.05 = 95.24
Upside Payoff = upside price - strike rate =(105 - 102) = 3
Upside probability :
[e^(r - q) - d] / u - d
E = exponential, q = Dividend (Dividend is 0, since the stock does not pay dividend)
d = 1/d = 1/1.05 = 0.9523809
e = 2.7182818
[2.7182818^(1.02% - 0) - 0.9523809] / (1.05 - 0.9523809)
[1.0102521 - 0.9523809] / 0.0976191
0.0578712 / 0.0976191
= 0.5928266
Probability of downside = 1 - p(upside)
P(downside) = 1 - 0.5928266
P(downside) = 0.4071733
Therefore, total Payoff =
(0.5928266 × 3) + (0.4071733 × 0)
= 1.7784798
European. Call option:
Total Payoff / (1 + r%)
1.7784798 / (1 + 1.02%)
=1.7784798/ (1 + 0.0102)
= 1.7784798 / 1.0102
= 1.7605224
= 1.76
Requirement 1. How much cash did the company receive upon issuance of the bonds payable? (Use the factor tables provided with factors rounded to three decimal places. Round all currency amounts to the nearest whole dollar.) Upon issuance of the bonds payable, the company received $ nothing.
Missing information:
A lot of information is missing, but I found several examples with very similar requirements.
For example:
Company, Inc. issued $500,000 of 14%, 10-year bonds payable on January 1, 2018. The market interest rate at the date of issuance was 12%, and the bonds pay interest semiannually.
Answer:
In order to determine the market price of the bonds we must add the present value of the bonds' face value + present value of the coupon payments:
PV of face value = $500,000 / (1 + 6%)²⁰ = $155,902.36
PV of coupon payments = $35,000 x 11.470 (PV annuity factor, 6%, 20 periods) = $401,450
market value of the bonds = $557,352.36
The journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds:
January 1, 2018, bonds are issued at a premium
Dr Cash 557,352.36
Cr Bonds payable 500,000
Cr Premium on bonds payable 57,352.36
TwitterMe, Inc., is a new company and currently has negative earnings. The company’s sales are $2.1 million and there are 130,000 shares outstanding. a. If the benchmark price-sales ratio is 4.3, what is your estimate of an appropriate stock price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What if the price-sales ratio were 3.6? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
a. $69.46
b. 58.15
Explanation:
a. Price = Benchmark PS ratio × Sales per share
Sales per Share
= Sales / Shares outstanding
= 2,100,000/130,000
= $16.15
Price = 4.3 * 16.15
Price = $69.46
b. PS Ratio is 3.6
Price = Benchmark PS ratio × Sales per share
Price = 3.6 * 16.15
Price = $58.15
Suppose the growth rate of the firm's profit is 7 percent, the interest rate is 10 percent, and the current profits of the firm are $120 million. What is the value of the firm
Answer:
$4,400,000,000
Explanation:
The formula is shown below together with the computation.
Value of the firm = [(Firm's current profit ) × (1 + firm's opportunity cost of funds/Interest rate)] ÷ (Firm's opportunity cost of funds/Interest rate - Constant growth annual rate)
= [($120,000,000) × (1 + 10%)] ÷ (10% - 7%)
= [($120,000,000) × (1.1)] ÷ (0.1 - 0.07)
= $120,000,000 × 1.1 ÷ 0.03
= $132,000,000 ÷ 0.03
= $4,400,000,000
Which of the following statements is CORRECT?a. Ethical behavior is not influenced by training and auditing procedures. People are either ethical or they are not, and this is what determines ethical behavior in business.b. If someone deliberately understates costs and thereby causes reported profits to increase, this can cause the stock price to rise above its intrinsic value. The stock will probably fall in the future. Both those who participated in the fraud and the firm itself can be prosecuted.c. Ethics is not an important consideration in business and in business schools.d. There are many types of unethical business behavior. One example is where executives provide information that they know is incorrect to outsiders. It is illegal to provide such information to federally regulated banks, but it is not illegal to provide it to stockholders because they are the owners of the firm.e. If a lower level person in a firm does something illegal, like "cooking the books," to understate costs and thereby artificially increase profits because he or she was ordered to do so by a superior, the lower level person cannot be prosecuted but the superior can be prosecuted.
Answer: b. . If someone deliberately understates costs and thereby causes reported profits to increase, this can cause the stock price to rise above its intrinsic value. The stock will probably fall in the future. Both those who participated in the fraud and the firm itself can be prosecuted.
Explanation:
Ethics in business ad organization is very vital towards the accomplishment of goals in every organization. Ethical behavior can be influenced by training and auditing procedures.
It should be noted that when someone understates the cost intentionally maybe with the person trying to steal from the company. This can lead to the reported profits of the company to increase, and thereby cause the stock price to rise above its intrinsic value.
If eventually the stock will fall in the future, everyone who took part in this fraudulent activity and even the company itself can be prosecuted. Performing in fraudulent activities by a company or its workers will make the individuals or the company lose the trust of its clients.

Salaries $12,000 FICA taxes withheld 900 Income taxes withheld 2,500 Medical insurance deductions 450 Federal unemployment taxes 32 State unemployment taxes 216 The journal entry to record the monthly payroll on April 30 would include a:_______. a. debit to Salaries Payable for $7,902 b. debit to Salaries Expense for $7,902 c. debit to Salaries Payable for $8,150 d. credit to Salaries Payable for $8,150
Answer:
The journal entry to record the monthly payroll on April 30 would include a credit to Salaries Payable for $8,150. The right answer is d.
Explanation:
In order to prepare The journal entry to record the monthly payroll on April 30 we would have to calculate the Salaries Payable as follows:
Salaries Payable=Salaries-FICA taxes withheld+Income taxes withheld+Medical insurance deductions
Salaries Payable=$12,000-$900+$2,500+$450
Salaries Payable=$8,150
Therefore, journal entry to record the monthly payroll on April 30 would be as follows:
Debit Credit
Salaries $12,000
FICA withheld $900
Income taxes withheld $2,500
Medical insurance deductions $450
salaries payable $8,150
So, The journal entry to record the monthly payroll on April 30 would include a credit to Salaries Payable for $8,150

A company is evaluating a new 4-year project. The equipment necessary for the project will cost $3,050,000 and can be sold for $670,000 at the end of the project. The asset is in the 5-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 20.00 percent, 32.00 percent, 19.20 percent, 11.52 percent, and 11.52 percent, respectively. The company's tax rate is 34 percent. What is the aftertax salvage value of the equipment?
Answer:
$718,606.4
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the accumulated depreciation
=$3,050,000×(0.2+0.32+0.192+0.1152)
= $3,050,000×0.8272
= $2,522,960
The accumulated depreciation is then subtracted from the book value in purchase to get the book value on sale
= $3,050,000-$2,522,960
= $527,040
The next step is to subtract the book value on sale from the salvage value
= $527,040-$670,000
= -$142,960
Loss of - $142,960
The tax gain on disposal can be calculated as follows
= -$142,960×34/100
= -$142,960×0.34
= -$48,606.4
Therefore, the after-tax salvage value can be calculated as follows
= salvage value-tax disposal
= $670,000-(-48,606.4)
= $670,000+$48,606.4
= $718,606.4
Hence the aftertax salvage value of the equipment is $718,606.4
Nathan's Athletic Apparel has 1,200 shares of 7%, $100 par value preferred stock the company issued at the beginning of 2020. All remaining shares are common stock. The company was not able to pay dividends in 2020, but plans to pay dividends of $18,000 in 2021. Required: 1. & 2. How much of the $18,000 dividend will be paid to preferred stockholders and how much will be paid to common stockholders in 2021, assuming the preferred stock is cumulative? What if the preferred stock were noncumulative?
Answer:
Nathan's Athletic Apparel
1. Preferred Stock Dividend = $120,000 x 7% = $8,400 for one year
For two years = $16,800 ($8,400 x 2)
Common Stock Dividend = $1,200 ($18,000 - $16,800)
2.If the preferred stock were noncumulative, the dividends would be:
Preferred Stock Dividend = $120,000 x 7% = $8,400
Common Stock Dividend = $9,600 ($18,000 - $8,400)
Explanation:
Preferred Stockholders' Equity = $120,000 (1,200 x $100)
Cumulative preferred stock is the type of preferred stock that accumulates unpaid dividends. If in any year the preferred dividend was not paid, the amount that was supposed to be paid would be carried forward to the next year when dividend is paid unlike an ordinary preferred stock that does not attract the arrears of dividend that was not paid in any given year.
Ralph, a cash basis taxpayer, owns an office building that he leases to various tenants. During 20X8, he signed a three-year lease with a tenant and received a check for $16,000 for the following:
Rent for November 1, 2008 to October 1, 2009 $5,000
Advance rent for last three months of lease 600
Security deposit (refundable) 400
For the current year, 2008, Ralph must report income of:__________
a. $6,000
b. $5,600
c. $5,000
d. $832
e. some other amount.
Answer:
b. $5,600
Explanation:
A cash basis taxpayer will report revenues and expenses when they are actually collected or paid for. The business transaction is not directly related to the moment that the payment occurs (unlike accrual accounting).
in this case, Ralph should report all the income related to monthly rental payments = $5,000 (Nov. 2008 - Oct. 2008) + $600 (the three last months of rent) = $5,600. Security deposits are not considered rental revenue, so they should not be reported as such.
A fixed asset with a cost of $52,025 and accumulated depreciation of $44,221 is traded for a similar asset priced at $55,501. Assuming a trade-in allowance of $5,664, the recognized loss on the trade is
Answer:
$2,140
Explanation:
When a commercial substance exists in the course of the exchange of an old asset for a new one , the gain or loss on this assets is recognized,
Commercial substance can be said to exist when the exchange assets impact the future cash flow. The extended useful life of the involved assets in the question the the newly acquired asset through exchange support this.
Workings
Cost of the fixed assets = 52,025
Accumulated depreciation = 44,221
Book value = 7,804
Trade in allowance = 5,664
loss = 7,804 - 5664 = 2,140
Compute the cost assigned to ending inventory using (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, (c) weighted average, and (d) specific identification. For specific identification, the October 9 sale consisted of 55 units from beginning inventory and 185 units from the October 5 purchase; the October 29 sale consisted of 35 units from the October 18 purchase and 75 units from the October 25 purchase. (Round your average cost per unit to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Ending inventory:
(a) specific identification = $5,885
(b) weighted average = $5,960
(c) FIFO = $5,750
(d) LIFO = $5,845
Explanation:
Date Activity Units Cost Total
Oct. 1 Beg. inventory 155 $14 $2,170
Oct. 5 Purchase 180 $13.50 $2,430
Oct. 9 Sales 240
Oct. 18 Purchase 140 $13 $1,820
Oct. 29 Sales 110
Oct. 25 Purchase 330 $12.50 $4,125
total Purchases 805 $13.10 $10,545
Cost of goods sold:
(a) specific identification = [(55 x $14) + (185 x $13,50)] + [(35 x $13) + (75 x $12.50)] = $4,660
(b) weighted average = $13.10 x 350 units = $4,585
(c) FIFO = (155 x $14) + (85 x $13.50) + (95 x $13.50) + (15 x $13) = $4,795
(d) LIFO = (180 x $13.50) + (60 x $14) + (110 x $13) = $4,700
Ending inventory:
(a) specific identification = $10,545 - $4,660 = $5,885
(b) weighted average = $10,545 - $4,585 = $5,960
(c) FIFO = $10,545 - $4,795 = $5,750
(d) LIFO = $10,545 - $4,700 = $5,845
The Purple Martin has annual sales of $687,400, total debt of $210,000, total equity of $365,000, and a profit margin of 5.9 percent. What is the return on assets
Answer:
7.1%
Explanation:
Purple martin has an annual sales of $687,400
The total debt is $210,000
Total equity is $365,000
Profit margin is 5.9%
= 5.9/100
= 0.059
The first step is to calculate the net income
Net income= sales×profit margin
= $687,400×0.059
= $40,556.6
The next step is to calculate the total assets
Total assets= Total debt+Total equity
= $210,000+$365,000
= $575,000
Therefore, the return on assets can be calculated as follows
ROA= Net income/Total assets
= 40,556.6/575,000
= 0.0705×100
= 7.1%
Hence the return on assets is 7.1%
An associate professor of physics gets a $200 a month raise. She figures that with her new monthly salary she can buy more goods and services than she could buy last year.
a. Her real and nominal salary have risen.
b. Her real and nominal salary have fallen.
c. Her real salary has risen and her nominal salary has fallen.
d. Her real salary has fallen and her nominal salary has risen.
Answer:
a. Her real and nominal salary have risen
Explanation:
Her nominal salary is the amount she earns. the $200 increase is an increase in her nominal salary.
Her real salary is calculated in the amount of goods and service she can purchase given her income. Since with the $200, she can buy more goods and services, her real salary has also increased.
Identify each person below as structurally, frictionally, or cyclically unemployed.
a. Jake recently lost his job as a dishwasher. Minimum-wage legislation keeps employers from adding more of the low-skill positions for which he qualifies, so he has been unable to find work.
b. Rosa is a real estate agent. House sales in her area have declined because the region has been going through a recession. She has no clients and is currently looking for a new full-time job.
c. Latasha just graduated from college and is looking for a full-time position with an investment banking firm.
Answer and Explanation:
Structurally unemployed: It refers to mismatch between both the available jobs and the unemployed skills
Frictionally unemployed: This condition occurs when the workers or labors are not employed and looking for the work
Cyclically unemployed: It arise when where the aggregate demand for goods and services can not encourage full employment in an economy. This takes place during times of sluggish economic growth or times of economic contraction
Based on the explanation, the classification is as follows
a. Structurally unemployed
b. Cyclic unemployed
c. Frictionally unemployed
Identify the phase (Phillips, stagflation, or recovery) the economy is in, and suggest what change in aggregate demand or aggregate supply might have caused it.
a. "President Nixon expressed satisfaction with last yearâs economic performance. He said that with inflation and unemployment heading down, the nation âis on the right course."
b. "The nationâs inflation rate rose to a record high last month, the government reported yesterday. The consumer price index jumped 0.3% in January. Coupled with the announcement earlier this month that unemployment had risen by 0.5 percentage points, the reports suggested that the first month of President Nixonâs second term had gotten off to a rocky start."
c. "President Carter expressed concern about reports of rising inflation but insisted the economy is on the right course. He pointed to recent reductions in unemployment as evidence that his economic policies are working."
Answer:
a. "President Nixon expressed satisfaction with last year's economic performance. He said that with inflation and unemployment heading down, the nation is on the right course."
⇒ RECOVERY. Economic recovery refers to the economy starting to grow again after a period of recession. A rightward shift in the aggregate supply curve should decrease unemployment and reduce inflation.
b. "The nation's inflation rate rose to a record high last month, the government reported yesterday. The consumer price index jumped 0.3% in January. Coupled with the announcement earlier this month that unemployment had risen by 0.5 percentage points, the reports suggested that the first month of President Nixon's second term had gotten off to a rocky start."
⇒ STAGFLATION. Stagflation refers to a combination of high inflation and high unemployment. A leftward shift in the aggregate supply curve can result in stagflation.
c. "President Carter expressed concern about reports of rising inflation but insisted the economy is on the right course. He pointed to recent reductions in unemployment as evidence that his economic policies are working."
⇒ PHILLIPS. According to the Phillips curve, inflation and unemployment are inversely correlated. if inflation goes up, unemployment should go down. Phillips theory was discredited due to stagflation occurring during Nixon's presidency. Nixon created stagflation for the first time in the US since it isn't normal that inflation rises as unemployment increases. That shows you how good a president he was, he even invented new things for Americans to enjoy.

A publisher is deciding whether or not to invest in a new printer. The printer would cost $900, and would increase the cash flows in year 1 by $500 and in year 3 by $800. Cash flows do not change in year 2. If the interest rate is 12%, what is the present value of the cash flows from the investment
Answer:
The present value of the cash flows from the investment is $1015.85.
Explanation:
The present value of the cash flows can be calculated using the discounted cash flows approach also known as the DCF approach. Under this approach, the cash flows are discounted to the present day value using a certain discount rate.
The formula to calculate the present value of the cash flows is,
Present value = CF1 / (1+i) + CF2 / (1+i)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+i)^n
Where,
CF are the cash flowsi is the interest rate which is also the discount ratePresent value = 500 / (1+0.12) + 800 / (1+0.12)^3
Present value = $1015.85277 rounded off to $1015.85

Credit Card Debt - Application The function D(t) can be used to approximate the total average credit card debt in a U.S. household (in thousands of dollars) t years after 1995. Interpret the meaning of the statement: D(23) = 21.5. In the year , the total average credit card debt for a U.S. household will be $___________.
Answer: 2018; $21,500
Explanation:
The 't' in D(t) represents how many years after 1995 the function is referring to. This question has the 't' at 23 so this is 23 years after 1995.
= 1995 + 23
= 2018
The average household debt is given in thousands of dollars therefore;
= 21.5 * 1,000
= $21,500
In the year 2018, the total average credit card debt for a U.S. household will be $21,500.

You plan to borrow $35,000 at a 7.5% annual interest rate. The terms require you to amortize the loan with 7 equal end-of-year payments. How much interest would you be paying in Year 2
Answer:
$2,250
Explanation:
Since terms require you to amortize the loan with 7 equal end-of-year payments, it implies that interest will be paid on the amount outstanding balance for a whole year.
The would be paid in Year 2 can therefore be calculated as follows:
Equal amount of the loan principal = Loan amount / Number of equal end-of-year payments = $35,000 / 7 = $5,000
Loan balance outstanding throughout Year 2 = Loan amount - Year 1 end-of-year payment = $35,000 - $5,000 = $30,000
Year 2 interest payable = Loan balance outstanding throughout Year 2 * Annual interest rate = $30,000 = 7.5% = $2,250.
Therefore, you would be paying $2,250 interest in Year 2.

The Company uses a periodic inventory system. For specific identification, ending inventory consists of 215 units, where 190 are from the January 30 purchase, 5 are from the January 20 purchase, and 20 are from beginning inventory. Determine the cost assigned to ending inventory and to cost of goods sold using (a) specific identification, (b) weighted average, (c) FIFO, and (d) LIFO.
Answer:
Ending inventory:
(a) specific identification = $2,720(b) weighted average = $2,810.05(c) FIFO = $2,687.50(d) LIFO = $3,010Cost of goods sold:
(a) specific identification = $6,495(b) weighted average = $6,404.95(c) FIFO = $6,527.50(d) LIFO = $6,205Explanation:
Date Activity Units Cost Total
Jan. 1 Beg. inventory 215 $14 $3,010
Jan. 10 Sales 165
Jan. 20 Purchase 160 $13 $2,080
Jan. 25 Sales 190
Jan. 30 Purchase 330 $12.50 $4,125
total Purchases 705 $13.07 $9,215
Ending inventory:
(a) specific identification = (190 x $12.50) + (5 x $13) + (20 x $14) = $2,720
(b) weighted average = 215 x $13.07 = $2,810.05
(c) FIFO = 215 x $12.50 = $2,687.50
(d) LIFO = 215 x $14 = $3,010
Cost of goods sold:
(a) specific identification = $9,215 - $2,720 = $6,495
(b) weighted average = $9,215 - $2,810.05 = $6,404.95
(c) FIFO = $9,215 - $2,687.50 = $6,527.50
(d) LIFO = $9,215 - $3,010 = $6,205
