Answer:
X = amount invested in 8% interest = $54000
Y =amount invested in 6% interest = $36000
Z = amount invested in 9% interest = $20000
Explanation:
Given that:
The amount of investment = $110,000
The investment was split into three parts and lasted for one year.
The first part of the investment earned 8% interest
The Second part of the investment earned 6% interest
The third part of the investment earned 9% interest
Total interest from the investments was $ 8280.
The interest from the first investment was 2 times the interest from the second.
The objective is to find the amounts of the three parts of the investment.
Let XYZ be the first,second and third part of the investment earned respectively.
So; we can say :
X + Y + Z = 110000 --------- (1)
From the total amount of interest from the investment; we have :
[tex]X(\dfrac{8}{100}) + Y (\dfrac{6}{100}) + Z( \dfrac{9}{100}) = 8280[/tex]
0.08 X + 0.06 Y + 0.09 Z = 8280 -------- (2)
Similarly; let's not forget that the interest from the first investment was 2 times the interest from the second investment.
So;
0.08 X = 2(0.06 )Y
0.08 X = 0.12 Y
0.08 X - 0.12 Y = 0 ------------ (3)
From equation (3); let make X, the subject of the formula; by doing so, we have:
0.08 X - 0.12 Y = 0
0.08 X = 0.12 Y
[tex]X = (\dfrac{0.12 }{0.08})Y[/tex]
X = 1.5Y
Replace the value of X into equation (1), we have :
X + Y + Z = 110000 --------- (1)
1.5Y + Y + Z = 110000
2.5Y + Z = 110000 ------- (4)
Replace the value of X = 1.5Y into equation (2), we have :
0.08 X + 0.06 Y + 0.09 Z = 8280 -------- (2)
0.08(1.5 Y) + 0.06 Y + 0.09 Z = 8280
0.12 Y + 0.06 Y +0.09 Z = 8280
0.18 Y + 0.09 Z = 8280 ----- (5)
By Elimination method; we can determine the value of Y from equation 4 and 5 as follows:
Let's multiply Z by (0.09) in equation (4);
2.5Y + Z = 110000
-
0.18 Y + 0.09 Z = 8280
So;
0.225Y + 0.09Z = 9900
-
0.18 Y + 0.09 Z = 8280
0.045 Y + 0 = 1620
0.045 Y = 1620
Y = 1620/0.045
Y = 36000
From;
X = 1.5Y
X = 1.5 ( 36000)
X = 54000
From equation (1)
X + Y + Z = 110000 --------- (1)
54000 + 36000 + Z = 110000
Z = 110000 - 54000 - 36000
Z = 20000
Hence;
X = amount invested in 8% interest = $54000
Y =amount invested in 6% interest = $36000
Z = amount invested in 9% interest = $20000

The company XOXO is specialized in producing treadmills. The company allocates manufacturing overhead based on direct labor hours. XOXO estimated a total of $4,600 of manufacturing overhead that can be dispatched on all jobs. Moreover, the total direct labor hours that has been recorder during the period raises up to 460 hours. Job 12 consists of 30 sets of treadmills. The company’s records show that the following direct costs were requisitioned for Job 12: • Electronic parts: 40 units at $20 per unit • Plastic: 10 kilograms at $10 per kilogram • Labor hours: 60 hours at $25 per hour Requirement: 1. Calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead (MOH) rate.
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The company allocates manufacturing overhead based on direct labor hours.
Estimated a total overhead= $4,600
Direct labor hours= 460
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= 4,600/460= $10 per direct labor hour
clarissa wants to fund a growing perpetuity that will pay $5000 per year to a local museum, starting next year. She wants the annual amount paid to the museum to grow by 5% per year. Given that the interest rate is 8%, how much does she need to fun this perpetuity
Answer:
$166,666.67
Explanation:
Clarissa wants to take charge of finding a growing perpetuity that will pay a total amount of $5,000 per year to a local museum
She wants the annual amount paid to the museum to grow by 5% per year
= 5/100
= 0.05
The interest rate is 8%
= 8/100
= 0.08
Therefore, the amount used to fund the perpetuity can be calculated as follows
Pvo= $5,000/(0.08-0.05)
= $5,000/0.03
= $166,666.67
Hence Clarissa needs $166,666.67 to fund the perpetuity.

The December 31, 2018, balance sheet of Whelan, Inc., showed long-term debt of $1,420,000, $144,000 in the common stock account, and $2,690,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The December 31, 2019, balance sheet showed long-term debt of $1,620,000, $154,000 in the common stock account and $2,990,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The 2019 income statement showed an interest expense of $96,000 and the company paid out $149,000 in cash dividends during 2019. The firm's net capital spending for 2019 was $1,000,000, and the firm reduced its net working capital investment by $129,000.
What was the firm's 2019 operating cash flow, or OCF? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)
Operating cash flow
Answer:
$606,000
Explanation:
For the computation of operating cash flow first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-
Net New borrowing = Long-term Debt, 2019 - Long-term Debt, 2018
= $1,620,000 - $1420,000
= $200,000
Cash flow to creditors = Interest expense - Net new borrowings
= $96,000 - $200,000
= -$104,000
Net new equity = Common stock 2019 + Additional paid in surplus 2019 - Common stock 2018 + Additional paid in surplus 2018
= $154,000 + $2,990,000 - $144,000 - $2,690,000
= $310,000
Cash flow to stockholders = Dividend 2019 - Net new equity
= $149,000 - $310,000
= -$161,000
Cash flow from assets = Cash flow to creditors + Cash flow to stockholders
= -$104,000 + (-$161,000)
= -$265,000
and finally
Operating cash flow = cash flow from assets + Net capital spending + Change in Net working capital
= (-$265,000) + $100,000 + (-$129,000)
= $606,000

c. Assume the same facts as in (b), except that the Franklins borrow $80,000 secured by their home. What amount of interest expense may the Franklins deduct in year 3 on this loan (the Franklins do not use the loan proceeds to improve the home)?
Answer:
a. What is the amount of the interest expense the Franklins may deduct in year 1?
this will depend on the total interest paid during the year, since we are not told how long their mortgage is, we cannot know exactly how much interest expense they will pay. Generally mortgages require monthly payments, so I prepared a simulated amortization schedule for the first year assuming that the mortgage lasts 30 years and a monthly payment of $8,648.93.

Your company is trying to decide which of the two following devices should be selected.
Device A: costs $1,000 but can save $300 annually
Device B: costs $1,350 but can save $300 the first year, but savings is increased $50 annually thereafter.
Both devices have 5-year useful life and no salvage value
a) Draw cash flow diagram for each option
b) If interest rate is 7%, which device should your company purchase?
Answer:
a) Find the attached jpeg file for the cash flow diagram
b) The company should purchase Device B.
Explanation:
a) Draw cash flow diagram for each option
A project cash flow diagram is a tool that is used to present a visual representation of the cost of a project and cash it is expected to generate over a specified period of time. On the diagram, x-axis represents the year, and y-axis represents cash out flows and/or inflows.
Note: See the attached jpeg for the cash flow diagram.

With perfect price discrimination the monopoly a. charges each customer an amount equal to the monopolist's marginal cost of production. b. eliminates all price discrimination by charging each customer the same price. c. eliminates profits and increases consumer surplus. d. eliminates deadweight loss.
Answer:
Option D, Eliminates the dead-weight loss.
Explanation:
Option D is correct because there is dead-weight loss under monopoly because it produces less as compared to perfect competition. Therefore, a monopolist eliminates this dead-weight loss by producing at the level where the marginal cost curve cuts the marginal revenue curve and charging each consumer their willingness to pay the amount

In the first situation, the accounting and responsibility is chosen as of the superior assigned the work to the subordinate so there would be accounting and responsibility that the given work should be completed within the prescribed time and under the full responsibility
In the second situation, there is a unity of command but it does not exist in the matrix organization. Here unity of command is reporting to one boss.
In the third situation, decentralization is there as there are the authority to take independent decisions by middle level and lower level employees
The following statements that are true after you delegate the status report to Patricia are:
A. You should guide Patricia through each step of the assignment to serve as a mentor.B. Patricia must have authority over the resources and personnel needed to complete the status report. D. Patricia will be held accountable for the results of the assignment.According to Stephen Covey’s advice about delegation, he stated that when duties or responsibilities are delegated to a person that does not have the capacity to properly handle them, then the output may be disastrous.
Furthermore, Covey also said that when delegating to someone, it is important to give them space to work and not to interfere too much and hold them accountable to the results.
As a result of this, we can see that Patricia is in charge of the routine status report as a part of the ongoing advertisement campaign and she should have not only full authority, but also be held accountable for the outcome of the assignment.

Complete Question:
On December 31 of the current year, Sam Company was merged into Paul Company. In carrying out the business combination, Paul Company issued 60,000 shares of its $10 par value common stock, with a fair value of $15 per share, for all of Sam Company's outstanding common stock. The stockholders' equity section of the two companies immediately before the business combination was:
Paul Sam
Common Stock $500,000 $400,000
Additional Paid-in Capital 200,000 100,000
Retained Earnings 300,000 200,000
Assume that the transaction is accounted for using the acquisition method. In the consolidated balance sheet at the end of the next year, the Additional Paid-In Capital account should be reported at
A) $400,000.
B) $300,000.
C) $500,000.
D) $200,000.
Answer:
Option C. $500,000
Explanation:
The reason is that the new additional Paid In Capital will be calculated by taking the stock issuing company's Addition Paid-In Capital and the additional paid in capital arising from stock issue, which means that:
Addition Paid-In Capital after merger = Addition Paid-In Capital of Paul Company + Addition Paid-In Capital arising from shares issues
Here
Addition Paid-In Capital of Paul Company = $200,000
Addition Paid-In Capital arising from shares issues = 60,000 shares * ($15 per share - $10 per share) = $300,000
By putting above values in the equation, we have:
Addition Paid-In Capital after merger = $200,000 + $300,000
Addition Paid-In Capital after merger = $500,000
Today you purchase a $600 face-value, 8% coupon bond for $600. This bond matures over 10 years. What is the value of the cash flow in year 5?
Answer:
the value of the cash flow in year 5 is -$48
Explanation:
Cash flow in year 5 include a capital repayment and interest expense.This can be determined by constructing an amortization schedule from the data given.
The first step in constructing the amortization schedule is to find the Yield to Maturity.
Pv = -$600
Pmt = $600 × 8% = $48
P/yr = 1
N = 10
Fv = $600
YTM = ?
Using a Financial Calculator the Yield to Maturity is 8%.
then to determine the cash flow for year 5, we need the coupon amount (interest) and the amount of capital repayment.
Coupon $48
Capital $0
Total $48
Therefore the cash flow in year 5 is -$48.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) would like to test the hypothesis that the average size of a newly constructed house in 2010 is different from the average size of a newly constructed house in 2000. The following data summarizes the sample statistics for house sizes, in square feet, for both years. Assume that the population variances are equal.
2000 2010
Sample mean 2,180 2,390
Sample size 15 12
Sample standard deviation 300 320
If Population 1 is defined as homes built in 2000 and Population 2 is defined as homes built in 2010, which one of the following statements is true?
A. Because the
95
%
confidence interval includes zero, HUD cannot conclude that the average size of a newly constructed house in 2010 is different from the average size of a newly constructed house in 2000.
B. Because the
95
%
confidence interval does not include zero, HUD can conclude that the average size of a newly constructed house in 2010 is different from the average size of a newly constructed house in 2000.
C. Because the
95
%
confidence interval includes zero, HUD can conclude that the average size of a newly constructed house in 2010 is equal to the average size of a newly constructed house in 2000.
D. Because the
95
%
confidence interval does not include zero, HUD can conclude that the average size of a newly constructed house in 2010 is not different from the average size of a newly constructed house in 2000.
Answer:
B. Because the
95
%
confidence interval does not include zero, HUD can conclude that the average size of a newly constructed house in 2010 is different from the average size of a newly constructed house in 2000.
Explanation:
Here,
Null and alternative hypotheses are:
H0: u1 = u2
H1: u1 ≠ u2
Calculate test statistics:
[tex] t = \frac{x'1 - x'2}{\sqrt{\frac{(n_1 - 1) (\sigma_1)^2 + (n_2 - 1)(\sigma_2)^2}{n_1 + n_2 - 2} * (\frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2})}} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{2180 - 2390}{\sqrt{\frac{(14)(300)^2 + (11)(320)^2)}{15 +12 - 2} * (\frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{12})}} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{-210}{\sqrt{\frac{(1260000) + (1126400)}{25} * (0.15)}} [/tex]
[tex] t = -1.7549 [/tex]
At 95% confidence interval, find t observed:
Significance level = 100% - 95% = 5% = 0.05
Degrees of freedom = 15 + 12 - 2 = 25
[tex] t_o = t_\alpha_/_2_, _d_f = t_0_._0_5_/_2_, _2_5 = t_0_._0_2_5, _2_5 = 2.06 [/tex]
T calculated = -1.76
T observed(critical) = -2.06
Since t calculated is bigger than t critical, reject null hypothesis H0.
Because the
95
%
confidence interval does not include zero, HUD can conclude that the average size of a newly constructed house in 2010 is different from the average size of a newly constructed house in 2000.
