Answer:
The company's current ratio is 1.25.
Explanation:
The current ratio is calculated by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities:
current assets=$50000
current liabilities=$40000
current ratio=$50000/$40000
current ratio=1.25
According to this, the answer is that the company's current ratio is 1.25.
Setting and achieving goals is essential to success.
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
The statement that "Setting and achieving goals is essential to success" is true.
When we set goals, it gives us a motivation for the short term and also a long term vision. Setting goals doesn't allow us to deviate from whatever we want to achieve. Our time and resources are dedicated towards achieving that set goal.
Imagine a hypothetical economy with a population of 100 people, 80 of which over sixteen. Forty eight of these people who are working and twelve people who are willing, able and looking for work cannot find jobs. The unemployment rate in this economy is____________ % (enter percentage as a whole number, not a decimal, no percentage sign). S
Suppose that 10 of those unemployed people get discouraged and give up looking for work. Now, the unemployment rate is __________% (enter percentage as a whole number, not a decimal, no percentage sign).
Answer:
a) unemployment rate = 15
b) unemployment rate = 2.5
Explanation:
unemployed people are those who are willing and available to work and have actively been seeking a job in the past four weeks. This accurately describes the 12 people who are willing, able and looking for work but cannot find jobs. To calculate the unemployment rate in percentage, the following formula is used:
[tex]unemployment\ rate = \frac{number\ of\ unemployed}{labour\ force} \times 100\\[/tex]
Where:
a) Number of unemployed = 12
Labour force = 80 (number of people over 16 years of age)
[tex]\therefore unemployment\ rate = \frac{12}{80} \times 100 = 0.15 \times 100 = 15\\[/tex]
b) if 10 of the unemployed people get discouraged and give up looking for work, the number of unemployed becomes 2 persons, (12 - 10 = 2).
[tex]\therefore unemployment\ rate = \frac{2}{80} \times 100 = \frac{200}{80} = 2.5[/tex]
When Valley Co. acquired 80% of the common stock of Coleman Corp., Coleman owned land with a book value of $75,000 and a fair value of $125,000. What is the amount of excess land allocation attributed to the noncontrolling interest at the acquisition date
Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
The amount of excess land allocation attributed to the non controlling interest at the acquisition date is computed below;
Non controlling interest of acquisition date
= (Book value of land - Fair value of land) × 20%
Given that;
Book value of land = $125,000
Fair value of land = $75,000
Then,
Non controlling interest of acquisition date
= ($125,000 - $75,000) × 20%
= $50,000 × 20%
= $10,000

Chen Company's Small Motor Division manufactures a number of small motors used in household and office appliances. The Household Division of Chen then assembles and packages such items as blenders and juicers. Both divisions are free to buy and sell any of their components internally or externally. The following costs relate to small motor LN233 on a per unit basis.
Fixed cost per unit $5.20
Variable cost per unit $10.81
Selling price per unit $34.55
Assuming that the Small Motor Division has excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of small motor LN233 to the Household Division. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)
Minimum transfer price $ per unit
Assuming that the Small Motor Division does not have excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of the small motor to the Household Division. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. If the small motor division has excess capacity,
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost
Variable cost per unit = $10.81
Add:
Opportunity cost per unit = $0.00 (Because the company has sufficient excess capacity)
Minimum transfer price = $10.81
2. If the small motor division has excess capacity,
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost
Variable cost per unit = $10.81
Add:
Opportunity cost per unit = $23.74 (As the company has no excess capacity, contribution lost is the opportunity cost)
Minimum transfer price = $34.55
N.B
Contribution lost = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $34,55 - $10.8 = $23.74
Setrakian Industries needs to raise $48.5 million to fund a new project. The company will sell bonds that have a coupon rate of 5.56 percent paid semiannually and that mature in 10 years. The bonds will be sold at an initial YTM of 6.13 percent and have a par value of $2,000. How many bonds must be sold to raise the necessary funds
Answer:
25,317 unit
Explanation:
Current price of bond = PV(Rate, Nper, Pmt, Fv)
Current price of bond = PV(6.13%/2, 10*2 ,5.56%/2*2000, 2000)
Current price of bond = $1,915.71
Number of bonds to issue = $48,500,000 / $1,915.71
Number of bonds to issue = 25316.98430
Number of bonds to issue = 25,317 unit
Assume you gave up a $60,000 per year job at an accounting firm to start your own tax preparation business. To simplify, assume your tax personal obligations are the same whether you run your own firm or work for another firm. If your revenue during the first year of business is $75,000, and you incurred $5,000 in expenses for equipment and supplies, how much is your accounting profit
Answer:
Accounting profit= $70,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
If your revenue during the first year of business is $75,000, and you incurred $5,000 in expenses for equipment and supplies, how much is your accounting profit
The accounting profit does not include the opportunity cost of leaving the accounting job. In this case, the accounting profit is:
Accounting profit= revenue - costs
Accounting profit= 75,000 - 5,000
Accounting profit= $70,000
Your job pays you only once a year for all the work you did over the previous 12 months. Today, December 31, you just received your salary of $58,000 and you plan to spend all of it. However, you want to start saving for retirement beginning next year. You have decided that one year from today you will begin depositing 3 percent of your annual salary in an account that will earn 11 percent per year. Your salary will increase at 6 percent per year throughout your career.
Required: How much money will you have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today?
Answer:
The amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.
Explanation:
This can be determined using the formula for calculating the future value of growing annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - (1 + g)^n) / (r - g)) ...................................... (1)
Where
FV = Future value or the amount on the date of retirement = ?
M = First annual deposit = Annual salary * Deposit percentage = $58,000 * 3% = $1,740
r = annual interest rate = 11%, or 0.11
g = salary growth rate = 6%, or 0.06
n = number of years = 40 years
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $1,740 * (((1 + 0.11)^40 - (1 + 0.06)^40) / (0.11 - 0.06))
FV = $1,740 * 1,094.30298736951
FV = $1,904,087.20
Therefore, the amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.
An investor thought that market interest rates were going to decline. He paid $19,000 for a corporate bond with a face value of $20,000. The bond has an interest rate of 10% per year payable annually. If the investor plans to sell the bond immediately after receiving the 4th interest payment, how much will he have to receive in order to make a return of 14% per year? Solve using:
a. tabulated factors
b. the GOAL SEEK tool on a spreadsheet.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
a. In this part, we need to calculate the present worth using the formula to calculate the sale price of the bond.
As the coupon rate = 10% per year
So,
The Annual dividend will = 2000 = 10% x 20,000
19000 = 2000 (P/A, 14%,4) + B(P/F,14%,4)
19000 = 2000 (2.9137) + B (0.592)
Solving for B = Desired sales price of the bond
B = [tex]\frac{19000 - 5827.4}{0.592}[/tex]
B = 22251
b. Part b of this question is to solve using GOAL SEEK feature of a spreadsheet so, I have attached it in the attachment. Please refer to the attachment for the solution of part b.

Which of the following statements about annuities are true? Check all that apply. An ordinary annuity of equal time earns less interest than an annuity due. Annuities are structured to provide fixed payments for a fixed period of time. When equal payments are made at the beginning of each period for a certain time period, they are treated as ordinary annuities. When equal payments are made at the beginning of each period for a certain time period, they are treated as an annuity due.
Answer:
The true statements are:
Annuities are structured to provide fixed payments for a fixed period of time.
When equal payments are made at the beginning of each period for a certain time period, they are treated as an annuity due.
Explanation:
Annuities provide fixed payments for a lifetime or a specified period of time. With equal payments at the beginning of each period for a fixed period of time, the annuity is regarded as an annuity due. But with equal payments at the end of the period, it is an ordinary annuity. A common example of annuity due is payment for Rent at the beginning of the month or year. If the Rent is paid at the end of the month or year, it is an ordinary annuity.
If The Wall Street Journal lists a stock's dividend as $1, then it is most likely the case that the stock: Multiple Choice pays $1 per share per quarter. paid $.25 per share per quarter for the past year. paid $1 during the past quarter, with no future dividends forecast. is expected to pay a dividend of $1 per share at the end of next year.
Answer:
paid $.25 per share per quarter for the past year
Explanation:
A stock is ownership rights purchased by investors in a public company. Holders of stock are called stockholders and they are regarded as owners of the company.
Stockholders are paid dividends. Dividends are a proportion of a company's profits paid to shareholders.
If the stock's dividend is $1, it means it either paid $1 the past year or paid $.25 per share per quarter for the past year
A publishing house is using 400 printers and 200 printing presses to produce books. The printers' wage rate is $20 and the price of a printing press is $100. The last printer added 20 books to total output, while the last press added 50 books to total output. In order to maximize the number of books published with a budget of $28,000, the publishing house
Answer:
The publishing house is not using cost minimizing combination of printers and printing press.
Explanation:
The publishing house go towards more of printers and less of printing press because the cost of printing price is almost three times higher than the cots of printers. Also the output of printing press is lower and the output of printers is almost double. The publishing house should use such a combination of both the available resources which maximizes its revenue.
