An Energy Star air conditioner unit costs $300 while a standard unit costs $200. The two units have the same cooling capacity. The Energy Star unit costs 5 cents per hour less to run. If you buy the Energy Star unit and run it for 12 hours per day for 6 months of the year, how long does it take to recover the $100 extra cost
Answer: 167 days
Explanation:
Energy star unit saves 5 cents per hour.
When run for 12 hours per day it saves:
= 5 * 12
= 60 cents
The extra cost of $100 in cents is:
= 100 * 100
= 10,000 cents
Days it will take for $100 to be recovered:
= 10,000 / 60
= 166.67 days
= 167 days
In 6 months you would have saved:
= 60 cents * 180 days
= 10,800 cents
= $108
It will take a period of 167 days to recover the $100 extra cost.
Energy star unit saves 5 cents per hour and when its run for 12 hours per day, it saves:
= 5 * 12
= 60 cents
The extra cost of $100 in cents is:
= 100 * 100
= 10,000 cents
The number of days it will take for $100 to be recovered:
Days = 10,000 / 60
Days = 166.67 days
Days = 167 days
In 6 months you would have saved::
Saved amount = 60 cents * 180 days
Saved amount = 10,800 cents
Saved amount = $108
In conclusion, It will requires a period of 167 days to recover the $100 extra cost.

We observe the following annualized yields on four Treasury securities: (75%)
Maturity (years) Yield-to-maturity (%)
0.5 4.00
1 4.50
1.5 5.00
2 5.50
The par is $1000 for all the securities. The one with 0.5-year to mature is a zero coupon bond. Al other securities are coupon-bearing bonds selling at par. Note that, for par bonds, the coupon rate equals YTM. (20 points)
1. Calculate the spot rates for the maturities of 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 years.
2. What is the price of a 2-year bond with an 8% annual coupon rate (assume $1000 par)?
3. Suppose a 1-year zero-coupon bond with a par value of S1000 is selling at $900. Is there any arbitrage opportunity? If there is, construct an arbitrage portfolio and show the profit.
4. Calculate the one-period-ahead forward rates from 0 to 0.5, from 0.5 to 1, from 1 to 1.5, and from 1.5 to 2.
5. One year from now, you plan to purchase a then one-year bond with a 1000 par and an 8% annual coupon rate. What is the expected price of the bond? Assume the expectation hypothesis holds. Under the expectation hypothesis, the expected future spot rate equals the forward rate.
Answer:
Explanation:
1.
From the given information;
The spot rate for maturity at 0.5 year [tex](X_1) = 4\%/2 = 2\%[/tex]
The spot rate for maturity at 1 year is:
= [tex]\dfrac{22.5}{(1+X_1)}+ \dfrac{1000 + 22.5}{(1+X_2)^2}=1000[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{22.5}{(1+0.02)}+ \dfrac{1000 + 22.5}{(1+X_2)^2}=1000[/tex]
= [tex]\dfrac{22.5}{(1+0.02)}+ \dfrac{1022.5}{(1+X_2)^2}=1000[/tex]
By solving for [tex]X_2[/tex];
[tex]X_2[/tex] = 2.253%
The spot rate for maturity at 1.5 years is:
[tex]= \dfrac{25}{(1+X_1)}+ \dfrac{25}{(1+X_2)^2}+ \dfrac{1000 + 25}{(1+X_3)^3}=1000[/tex]
Solving for [tex]X_3[/tex]
[tex]X_3[/tex] = 2.510%
The spot rate for maturity at 2 years is:
[tex]= \dfrac{27.5}{(1+X_1)}+ \dfrac{27.5}{(1+X_2)^2}+ \dfrac{27.5}{(1+X_3)^3} +\dfrac{1000+27.5}{(1+X_4)^4} =1000[/tex]
By solving for [tex]X_4[/tex];
[tex]X_4[/tex] = 2.770%
Recall that:
Coupon rate = yield to maturity for par bond.
Thus, the annual coupon rates are 4%, 4.5%, 5%, and 5.5% for 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 years respectively.
2.
For n years, the price of n-bond is:
[tex]= \dfrac{cash \ flow \ at \ year \ 1}{1+X_1}+ \dfrac{cash \ flow \ at \ year \ 2}{(1+X_2)^2}+... + \dfrac{cash \ flow \ at \ year \ b}{(1+X_n)^n}[/tex]
Thus, for 2 years bond implies 4 periods;
∴
[tex]= \dfrac{40}{1+0.02}+ \dfrac{40}{(1+0.02253)^2} + \dfrac{40}{(1+0.0252)^3}+ \dfrac{40}{(1+0.0277)^4}[/tex]
= $1047.024
3.
Suppose there exist no-arbitrage, then the price is:
[tex]= \dfrac{0}{(1+0.02)}+\dfrac{1000}{(1+0.02253)^2}[/tex]
= 956.4183
Since the market price < arbitrage price.
We then consider 0.5, 1-year bonds from the portfolio
Now;
weight 2 × 1000 + weight 2 × 22.5 = 1000
weight 2 × 1022.5 = 1000
weight 2 = 1022.5/1000
weight 2 = 0.976
weight 1 + weight 2 = 1
weight 1 = 1 - weight 2
weight 1 = 1 - 0.976
weight 1 = 0.022
The price of a 0.5-year bond will be:
[tex]= \dfrac{1000}{(1+0.02\%)} \\ \\ =\mathbf{980.39}[/tex]
The price of a 1-year bond will be = 1000
Market value on the bond portfolio = 0.022 × price of 0.5 bond + 0.978 × price 1-year bond = 956.42
= 0.022 × 980.39 + 0.978 × 1000
= 956.42
So, to have arbitrage profit, the investor needs to purchase 1 unit of the 1-year zero-coupon bond as well as 0.022 units of the 0.5-year bond. Then sell 0.978 unit of the 1-year bond.
Then will he be able to have an arbitrage profit of $56.42
4.
The one-period ahead forward rates can be computed as follows:
Foward rate from 0 to 0.5 [tex]X_1[/tex] = 2%
Foward rate from 0.5 to 1
[tex](1+X_2)^2 = (1+X_1) \times (1+ Foward \ rate \ from \ 0.5 \ to \ 1 )[/tex]
[tex](1+0.0225)^2 = (1+0.02) \times (1+ Foward \ rate \ from \ 0.5 \ to \ 1 )[/tex]
Foward rate from 0.5 to 1 = 2.5%
Foward rate from 1 to 1.5
[tex](1+X_3)^3 = (1+X_2)^2 \times (1+ Foward \ rate \ from \ 1 \ to \ 1.5 )[/tex]
[tex](1+0.0251)^3 = (1+0.0225)^3 \times (1+ Foward \ rate \ from \ 1 \ to \ 1.5 )[/tex]
Foward rate from 1 to 1.5 =3.021%
Foward rate from 1.5 to 2
[tex](1+X_4)^4 = (1+X_3)^3 \times (1+ Foward \ rate \ from \ 1.5 \ to \ 2 )[/tex]
[tex](1+0.0277)^4 = (1+0.0251)^3 \times (1+ Foward \ rate \ from \ 1.5 \ to \ 2 )[/tex]
Foward rate from 1.5 to 2 =3.021%
5.
The expected price of the bond if the hypothesis hold :
= [tex]\dfrac{40}{1+ 0.03021}+ \dfrac{1000+40}{(1+0.03285)^2}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{40}{(1.03021)}+ \dfrac{1040}{(1.03285)^2}}[/tex]
= 1013.724254
= 1013.72
assume the cost of a college education would be to 325,000 when your child enters college 17 years. You presently have $51,000 to
Answer:
11.51 %
Explanation:
The computation of the interest rate is shown below:
As we know that
Amount = P (1 + rate)^number of years
$325,000 = $51,000 (1+r)^17
(1+r)^17 = $325,000 ÷ $51,000
(1+r)^17 = 6.372549
(1+r) = (6.372549)^1 ÷ 17
1 + r = 1.115097
r = 1.115097 - 1
r = 0.115097
= 11.51 %

Explanation:
Given - Shum Manufacturing, which uses the high-low method, makes a
product called Kwan. The company incurs three different cost
types (A, B, and C) and has a relevant range of operation between
2,500 units and 10,000 units per month. Per-unit costs at two
different activity levels for each cost type are presented below.
Type A Type B Type C Total
5,000 units $4 $9 $4 $17
7,500 units $4 $6 $3 $13
To find - If Shum produces 10,000 units, the total cost would be ?
Proof -
As we know that
Total cost = Variable cost per unit × Units + Fixed Cost
Now,
As per the question ,
Highest Activity unit = 7,500 units
Lowest Activity unit = 5,000 units
Now,
Variable cost per unit = Change in cost / Change in activity unit
= ( Highest Activity cost - Lowest Activity cost ) / ( Highest Activity unit - Lowest Activity unit )
Type A Type B Type C
Highest Activity Cost 30,000 45,000 22,500
Lowest Activity Cost 20,000 45,000 20,000
Variable Cost Per unit 4 0 1

Sawyer Manufacturing Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. Last year, the Corporation worked 57,000 actual direct labor-hours and incurred $345,000 of actual manufacturing overhead cost. The Corporation had estimated that it would work 55,000 direct labor-hours during the year and incur $330,000 of manufacturing overhead cost. The Corporation's manufacturing overhead cost for the year was:
Answer:
Underapplied by $3,000
Explanation:
Calculation for what The Corporation's manufacturing overhead cost for the year was:
First step is to calculate the Predetermined Overhead rate
Predetermined Overhead rate=( $ 330,000/ 55,000)
Predetermined Overhead rate= $ 6 per labor hour
Now let calculate the Manufacturing overhead cost
Manufacturing overhead cost= (6 x 57 000)-$345,000
Manufacturing overhead cost=$342,000-$345,000
Manufacturing overhead cost=Underapplied by $3,000
Therefore The Corporation's manufacturing overhead cost for the year was:underapplied by $3,000

Sweet Company manufactures equipment. Sweet’s products range from simple automated machinery to complex systems containing numerous components. Unit selling prices range from $200,000 to $1,500,000 and are quoted inclusive of installation. The installation process does not involve changes to the features of the equipment and does not require proprietary information about the equipment in order for the installed equipment to perform to specifications. Sweet has the following arrangement with Winkerbean Inc.
● Winkerbean purchases equipment from Sweet for a price of $930,000 and contracts with Sweet to install the equipment. Sweet charges the same price for the equipment irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. Using market data, Sweet determines installation service is estimated to have a standalone selling price of $46,000. The cost of the equipment is $560,000.
● Winkerbean is obligated to pay Sweet the $930,000 upon the delivery and installation of the equipment.
Sweet delivers the equipment on June 1, 2020, and completes the installation of the equipment on September 30, 2020. The equipment has a useful life of 10 years. Assume that the equipment and the installation are two distinct performance obligations which should be accounted for separately.
How should the transaction price of $930,000 be allocated among the service obligations?
Equipment $
Installation $
Prepare the journal entries for Sweet for this revenue arrangement on June 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020, assuming Sweet receives payment when installation is completed.
Answer:
Equipment:
= Fair value of Equipment / Total fair value * Transaction price
= Fair value of Equipment / (Equipment+Installation) * Transaction price
= $930,000 / ($930,000+$46,000) * $930,000
= $886,168.03
Installation:
= Fair value of Installation / Total fair value * Transaction price
= Fair value of Installation / (Equipment+Installation) * Transaction price
= $46,000 / ($930,000+$46,000) * $930,000
= $43,831.97
Thus, the transaction price of $930,000 allocated to Equipment is $886,168.03 and $43,831.97 to Installation

Suppose a country is able to produce a maximum of either 300 units of lumber or 100 units of rice. This country is currently allocating its labor resources to produce 75 units of lumber and 75 units of rice. To increase its lumber production by 6 units to 81, the country faces an opportunity cost of
A. 2 units of rice.
B. 6 units of rice.
C. 75 units of rice.
D. 18 units of rice
Answer: A. 2 units of rice.
Explanation:
The opportunity cost of producing lumber is:
= Maximum rice production / maximum lumber production
= 100 / 300
= 1/3 units of rice
If the country wants to increase its lumber production by 6, it will incur an opportunity cost of:
= 6 * 1/3
= 2 units of rice

You bought two acres of land for $200,000 ten years ago. Although it is zoned for commercial use, it currently holds eight small, singlefamily houses. A property management firm that wants to continue leasing the eight houses has offered you $400,000 for the property. A developer wants to build a 12-story apartment building on the site and has offered $600,000. What value should you assign to the property
Answer:
$500,000
Explanation:
in order to calculate the value you should determine the expected return or sales price of the land = price of land x probability of sale
In this case, you have two offers and apparently you haven't decided which to choose, so the expected return = ($400,000 x 50%) + ($600,000 x 50%) = $200,000 + $300,000 = $500,000
Roquan, a single taxpayer, is an attorney and practices as a sole proprietor. This year, Roquan had net business income of $90,000 from his law practice (net of the associated for AGI self-employment tax deduction). Assume that Roquan pays $40,000 in wages to his employees, has $10,000 of property (unadjusted basis of equipment he purchased last year), and has no capital gains or qualified dividends. His taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is $100,000.
1. Calculate Roquan's deduction for qualified business income.
2. Assume the same facts as earlier, except Roquan's taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is $300,000.
Answer:
A. $18,000
B. No QBI deduction
Explanation:
a) Calculation for Roquan’s deduction for qualified business income.
Using this formula
Roquan's qualified business income.
= 20% x QBI
Let plug in the formula
Roquan's qualified business income
= 20% x $90,000
Roquan's qualified business income= $18,000
Therefore Roquan’s deduction for qualified business income will be $18,000
b) Based on the information given if we assumed that Roquan's taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is the amount of $300,000 which means that Roquan's income is higher than the amount of $213,300 hence, NO qualified business income deduction (QBI) will be allowed.

Not yet answered Marked out of 1.00 Flag question The accounting records of Slattery Corporation, a small manufacturing company, show the following balances for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019: Sales revenue $3,425,000 Selling expense $782,000 Research and development 96,400 Gain on sale of bonds 20,300 Interest income 18,400 Cost of goods sold 1,611,000 Restructuring costs 112,000 General and administrative expense 585,700 Interest expense 32,000
The restructuring costs were incurred as a result of one-time changes in raw materials management. Slattery prepares multiple-step income statements. Use 25% as the tax rate.
Slattery Corporation's Net income for 2019 equals_______.
Select one:
a. $267,450
b. $334,725
c. $262,425
d. $183,450
e. $244,600
Answer:
The correct option is d. $183,450.
Explanation:
The multiple-step income statement can be described as an income statement that shows gross profit which is net sales revenue minus the cost of goods sold, and separates an organization's operating revenues and operating expenses from its nonoperating revenues, nonoperating expenses, gains, and losses.
The multiple-step income statement is different from a single-step income statement which only employs just one equation to determine profits by simply deducting total revenue from total expenses.
Slattery Corporation's Net income for 2019 can be determined by preparing its Multi-Step Income Statement for 2019 as follows:

A firm that has recently experienced an enormous growth rate is seeking to lease a small plant in Memphis, TN; Biloxi, MS; or Birmingham, AL. Prepare an economic analysis of the three locations given the following information: Annual costs for building, equipment, and administration would be $59,000 for Memphis, $69,000 for Biloxi, and $104,000 for Birmingham. Labor and materials are expected to be $7 per unit in Memphis, $5 per unit in Biloxi, and $5 per unit in Birmingham. The Memphis location would increase system transportation costs by $58,000 per year, the Biloxi location by $68,500 per year, and the Birmingham location by $25,400 per year. Expected annual volume is 14,400 units.
Answer:
Total cost for a location = Annual costs for building, equipment, and administration + Labor and materials cost per unit*expected annual volume + Increase in transportation costs
Total cost for Memphis location = $59000 + $7*14400 + $58000
Total cost for Memphis location = $217,800
Total cost for Biloxi location = $69000 + $5*14400 + $68500
Total cost for Biloxi location = $209,500
Total cost for Birmingham location = $104000 + 5*14400 + $25400
Total cost for Birmingham location = $201,400
So, Birmingham location gives the lowest Annual Total Cost.
A large technology Company decides to create an entrepreneurship friendly space, where small enterprises can operate in close proximity to one another. To create this space, which will be called Zone Forty-Two, the Company will construct office space, which will be rented to tenants for free. The Company is considering two start-up firms, B Enterprises (a business software producer) and M Enterprises (a medical software producer). Both firms are currently located in different small towns of California, where they work out of their homes hence pay no rent. The sales volume for a firm if it locates at Zone Forty-Two depends on whether the other firm is also present. These sales volumes, along with the firms’ sales at their current home locations, are presented in Table 1.
table 1 home- town locations zone forty-two(alone) zone forty-two(with other firm)
b enterprises 600 600 670
m enterprises 700 700 950
Give an intuitive explanation why the sales figures are in the last column of Table 1 differ from the first two columns of the table. Hint: Elaborate on different types of economies that are likely to benefit firms locating next to each other in Zone Forty-Two.
Answer:
Zone-Forty-Two
Types of Economies Benefiting Firms Locating Next to Each Other:
Basically, internal and external economies of scale result from firms locating next to one another. While internal economies of scale are specific to a firm because they are internally generated savings, external economies of scale bring about larger changes outside the firm so that all the firms that are located next to one another benefit.
For example, when firms locate next to each other, there is increased procurement management, availability of specialized managers, availability of financial sources, and market improvement. These are internally-focused economies.
On the other hand, the external benefits that come from agglomeration of firms include the availability of common infrastructure, supply chain, innovation and ideas, and ability to lobby the authorities.
As a result of these economies or benefits, firms b and m enterprises are able to generate more increased sales as they locate close to each other at Zone Forty-Two than they could generate while they were located at their home-towns or alone at Zone Forty-Two.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Firms' Sales
Firms Hometown Zone forty-two Zone forty-two
locations (alone) (with other firm)
b enterprises 600 600 670
m enterprises 700 700 950
These economies resulting from proximate locations of firms include the growth of technical, marketing, commercial, financial benefits, and some network effects. Therefore, it is always interesting to study how firms grow more as they compete and learn from one another than they do when they dominate their individual hometown markets.

A factory machine was purchased for $385000 on January 1, 2021. It was estimated that it would have a $78000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. It was also estimated that the machine would be run 38000 hours in the 5 years. The company ran the machine for 3800 actual hours in 2021. If the company uses the units-of-activity method of depreciation, the amount of depreciation expense for 2021 would be
Answer:
$30,700
Explanation:
Calculation for what the amount of depreciation expense for 2021 would be
Depreciation expense for 2021 =[($385,000 - $78,000) ÷ 38,000] × 3,800
Depreciation expense for 2021 =($307,000÷38,000)×3,800
Depreciation expense for 2021 =8.078947369×3,800
Depreciation expense for 2021 =$30,700
Therefore the amount of depreciation expense for 2021 would be $30,700
