Tinker's cost of goods sold in the year of sale (2019) was $750,000 and 2018 cost of goods sold was $770,000. The inventory at the end of 2019 was $188,000 and at the end of 2018 the inventory was $208,000. Tinker's average number of days to sell its inventory during 2019 is closest to: (Use 365 days a year.)
Answer:
96.3 days
Explanation:
Inventory turnover is calculated as;
= ( Average inventory / cost of goods sold ) × 365
Where,
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2
Average inventory = ($208,000 + $188,000) / 2
Average inventory = $198,000
Therefore,
Inventory turnover = ($198,000 / $750,000) × 365
Inventory turnover = 96.3 days
The average number of days for Tinker to sell it's inventory during 2019 is closest to 96.3 days
Fitch Ratings a credit rating agency, recently downgraded Vermont's debt rating from AAA to AA, citing the state's economy and changing demographics This change could supood:________.a. Increase the direct costs of the state's debt. b. Increase private investment c. Cause the vote to invest in more securities d. None of these likely to occur
Answer:
a. Increase the direct costs of the state's debt.
Explanation:
When a bond's rating is downgraded is a signal to the investors that investing in the bond now is riskier than it was prior to the rating downgrade, hence, a perceived higher risk using the risk/return relationship means that the bond issue would have to offer a higher return to entice the investors to invest in the bonds.
As a result, the higher required rate of return translates into a higher direct cost of the state's debt since their interest rate offered has increased

What factors under the control of owners and managers make a firm successful and allow it to earn economic profits?
Owners and managers control some of the factors that make a firm successful such as:______.
A, The goverment's ability to promote economic growth
B. Sheer chance
C. The role foreign oil plays in determining transportation costs
D. The firm's ability to produce at an average cost above the minimum long - run average cost
E. The firm's ability to differentiate its product
Answer: E. The firm's ability to differentiate its product
Explanation:
The factor under the control of owners and managers that make a firm successful and allow it to earn economic profits is the firm's ability to differentiate its product.
Product Differentiation has to do with making a product unique from that of its rivals so that it'll be attractive to the customers and the target market. This will slow be vital for the company to produce at a average cost that is lower than that of its competing firms. This will help the company to have a competitive edge over others.
A firm has a machine it can sell for $40,000. The book value of the machine is currently $20,000. If the firm sells the machine, what are the net proceeds from the sale? Assume that the tax rate is 40%. Round to the nearest penny.
Answer:
the net proceeds from the sale is $32,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net proceeds from the sale is shown below:
Net Proceeds = Sale Price - Tax × (Sale price - purchase price)
= $40,000 - 40% × ($40,000 - $20,000)
= $40,000 - $8,000
= $32,000
Hence, the net proceeds from the sale is $32,000
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered
Colleges often rely heavily on raising money for an "annual fund" to support operations. Alumni are typically solicited for donations to the annual fund. Studies suggest that the graduate’s annual income is a good predictor of the amount of money he or she would be willing to donate, and there is a reasonably strong, positive, linear relationship between these variables. In the studies described:
Answer: size of alum's donation to the annual fund is the response variable
Explanation:
Considering the annual income is a good predictor of the amount of money he or she would be willing to donate, and there is a reasonably strong, then the study indicated that the size of alum's donation to the annual fund is the response variable

A few years ago the British government was considering retiring, or buying back from investors, some outstanding consols that had annual coupons of . A consol is:______
a. a coupon bond that pays a variable coupon rate and does not mature.
b. a coupon bond that pays a fixed coupon rate and has a fixed maturity date.
c. a coupon bond that pays a variable coupon and has a fixed maturity date.
d. a coupon bond that pays a fixed coupon rate and does not mature.
If the yield to maturity on other long-term British government bonds was 2.0%, the price the British government is likely to offer investors is £ _________
Answer: d. coupon bond that pays a fixed coupon rate and does not mature.
$3250
Explanation:
A consol is a coupon bond that pays a fixed coupon rate and does not mature. Consols are consolidated annuities that are perpetual. A steady amount of interest is paid for a consol even though they're not redeemable
Price of a consol will be gotten as fixed coupon amount divided by the rate of return. Let's assume that the fixed coupon amount is $65, then the price will be:
= 65/2%
= $3250

= 49,000 - 3,840
= $45,160
Zebco Inc is evaluating a project that has a cost of $1,000 and will produce end-of-year net cash inflows of $500 per year for 3 years. The required rate of return for this project's is 10 percent. The difference between the project's IRR and its MIRR is closest to:_________.
a. 5.09%
b. 5.75%
c. 4.31%
Answer:
a. 5.09%
Explanation:
initial outlay = -$1,000
cash flow 1 = $500
cash flow 2 = $500
cash flow 3 = $500
the simplest way to determine the IRR and MIRR is to use an excel spreadsheet and the IRR and MIRR functions:
IRR = 23.38%
in order to us the MIRR formula, we must use the 10% rate as both financing and reinvestment rates.
MIRR = 18.29%
difference between them = 23.38% - 18.29% = 5.09%

Explanation:
Keynes revolutionized economic theory by changing the explanation for what causes economic growth from aggregate _______ to aggregate _______.
a. demand; supply
b. supply; demand
c. cost; inflation
d. GDP; income
Answer:
b. supply; demand
Explanation:
Before Keynes, classical economists thought that aggregate supply was more important than aggregate demand in determining the overall economic level of a country. This was mainly because of the belief in say's law: the law stated that every offer creates its own deamand.
Keynes changed economics because he stated that demand and supply do not always reach equilibrium, and that demand is often insufficient, and it is the government job to stimulate demand through expansionary monetary and fiscal policy, like lowering interest rates and cutting taxes.

Jill Bower purchased 320 shares of stock for $29 a share and sold it for $35 a share. The commissions required to buy and sell her stock totaled $300 for each transaction. Assuming she received no dividends during the time she owned the stock, what is her total investment on the purchase of this stock?a. $2.140.b. $2.500.c. $1,580.d. $625.e. $1860.
Answer:
Jill Bower
Her total investment on the purchase of this stock is:
$9,880.
Explanation:
Number of shares purchased = 320
Share price at purchase = $29
Cost of the purchase = $9,280
Purchase Commission = 300
Total cost = $9,580
Sales proceeds = $11,200
Sales Commission = 300
Net proceeds = $10,900
Therefore, the total investment will be equal to the purchase cost (initial investment) + the sales commission, which is equal to $9,880.
= $9,580 + $300
= $9,880
Hiring one more worker for a station ___ design capacity and ___ utilization. (Hint: Relate to the problem set.)A. may increase or decrease, always increasesB. always increases, may increase or decreaseC. always increases, always increasesD. may increase or decrease, may increase or decrease
Answer:
B. always increases, may increase or decrease
Explanation:
Each worker being added is going to complete some job or assemble some units hence the design capacity after addition of worker will always be greater than the design capacity before addition. But utilization = actual output * 100 / theoretical design capacity.
Hence, if actual output after addition of worker increases more in proportion than that of proportional increase in number of worker, then the utilization of workstation will increase else it is likely to decrease. If both proportion are equal then the utilization is likely to remain same.
A stock has an expected return of 13.4 percent, the risk-free rate is 9 percent, and the market risk premium is 10 percent. What must the beta of this stock be?
Answer: 0.44
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a stock has an expected return of 13.4 percent, the risk-free rate is 9 percent, and the market risk premium is 10 percent.
The beta of this stock be calculated as:
= (13.4% - 9%) / 10%
= 4.4% / 10%
= 0.044 / 0.10
= 0.44
Therefore, the beta of the stock is 0.44
A simple random sample of 700 individuals provides 200 Yes responses. a. What is the point estimate of the proportion of the population that would provide Yes responses (to 2 decimals)? b. What is your estimate of the standard error of the proportion (to 4 decimals)? c. Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion (to 4 decimals).
Answer and Explanation:
A. The point estimate of individuals that would provide yes responses is the sample proportion. The sample proportion is calculated by dividing number of yes responses by sample size:
p = x/n = 200/700= 0.2857
B. The standard error of the population is the square root of the product of the point estimate and it's complement divided by the sample size given by
√p(1-p)/n
=√0.2857(1-0.2857)/700= 0.0170
C. For confidence level 95%, z score is calculated 1-0.95= 0.05/2= 0.025
Z score checked under the table = 1.96
Boundaries=
P-1.96 *standard error and p+1.96 *standard error
= 0.2857-1.96*0.0170= -0.25238
=0.2857+1.96*0.0170= 0.31902

Four years ago your firm issued a $1,000 par bond with a 4% semi-annual coupon and 20 years to maturity. The bond is now priced at $860. What is the current yield to maturity of the bond?
Answer:
the current yield to maturity of the bond is 5.31%
Explanation:
The computation of the yield to maturity is shown below:
Given that
Future value = $1,000
Present value = $860
NPER = (20 - 4) × 2 = 16
PMT = $1,000 × 4% ÷ 2 = $20
The formula is shown below:
= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)
The present values comes in negative
After applying the above formula, the yield to maturity is
= 2.6548% × 2
= 5.31%
Hence, the current yield to maturity of the bond is 5.31%

Trevor Ang holds a $400,000 portfolio consisting of the following stocks:
Stock Investment Beta
A $100,000 1.40
B $70,000 1.60
C $30,000 1.10
D $200,000 1.00
Total $400,000
What is the portfolio's beta?
Answer:
Portfolio beta = 1.2125
Explanation:
The portfolio beta is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks' betas that form up the portfolio. To calculate the beta of a portfolio, we use the following formula,
Portfolio Beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N
Where,
w is the weight of each stock
Portfolio Beta = 100000/400000 * 1.4 + 70000/400000 * 1.6 +
30000/400000 * 1.1 + 200000/400000 * 1
Portfolio beta = 1.2125
Find the equivalent taxable yield of the municipal bond for tax brackets of zero, 10%, 20%, and 30%, if it offers a yield of 4.50%
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent taxable yield is shown below:
For zero = 4.50%
For 10% = 4.50 ÷ 0.90 = 5%
For 20% = 4.50 ÷ 0.80 = 5.625%
For 30% = 4.50 ÷ 0.70 = 6.43%
For 10%, for 20% and for 30% it would reduced the tax brackets by the same
like
for 10%
= 1 - 0.10
= 0.90
The Same applied for other ones
Therefore the above should be the answer
